  STANDARDS DOCUMENTATION PROCESS

When TIA is engaged to help a company document their standards, the following activities take place:

Identification of Documentation Requirements - This includes a documentation inventory, needs assessment, and gap analysis. This activity looks at what currently is in place and working, and what needs to be developed.

Design of Effective Documentation and Training Materials - Design looks at media, format, style, content, distribution, and maintenance criteria that will meet ISO, industry, and organizational requirements.

Develop and Produce Documentation and Training Materials - Although it is critical that your employees have ownership of their procedural information, there are more effective ways of accomplishing that then having them write it. TIA’s interactive process involves your employees in the subject areas that they know. TIA takes care of the professional tasks related to the actual documentation design and development.

Design and Develop Document Control System - This is a critical aspect of various standards. TIA can design a system or work with your information systems staff to incorporate or update document control with your existing systems.

Design and Develop the Training Program - TIA can coordinate the documentation and training materials to save costly development time and redundancy. TIA also can design and develop training materials including self-paced training, instructor-led training, or computer based training (CBTs).

TIA develops customized documentation that help your staff understand the procedures and processes they need to follow in order to comply with the following industry standards:

ISO

ADA Section 508c

 

 

  ISO STANDARDS

TIA can document the procedures your staff needs to follow in order to pass ISO certification. Below are areas that TIA has documented for companies to meet ISO compliance:

1.

ISO 9000 focusing on "quality management". This means what the organization does to fulfil:

 
  • the customer's quality requirements, and
  • applicable regulatory requirements, while aiming to
  • enhance customer satisfaction, and
  • achieve continual improvement of its performance in pursuit of these objectives.
2.

ISO 14000 focusing on "environmental management". This means what the organization does to:

 
  • minimize harmful effects on the environment caused by its activities, and to
  • achieve continual improvement of its environmental performance.

In response to meeting these requirements, TIA has developed materials and is familiar with the technical documentation standards within the ISO Compliance.

ADA Section 508c Standards

Some of the criteria TIA follows when creating your online materials are:

A text equivalent for every non-text element shall be provided (e.g., via "alt", "longdesc", or in element content).
Equivalent alternatives for any multimedia presentation shall be synchronized with the presentation.

Web pages shall be designed so that all information conveyed with color is also available without color, for example from context or markup.

Documents shall be organized so they are readable without requiring an associated style sheet.

Redundant text links shall be provided for each active region of a server-side image map.
Client-side image maps shall be provided instead of server-side image maps except where the regions cannot be defined with an available geometric shape.
Row and column headers shall be identified for data tables.
Markup shall be used to associate data cells and header cells for data tables that have two or more logical levels of row or column headers.
Pages shall be designed to avoid causing the screen to flicker with a frequency greater than 2 Hz and lower than 55 Hz.

A text-only page, with equivalent information or functionality, shall be provided to make a web site comply with the provisions of this part, when compliance cannot be accomplished in any other way. The content of the text-only page shall be updated whenever the primary page changes.

When pages utilize scripting languages to display content, or to create interface elements, the information provided by the script shall be identified with functional text that can be read by Assistive Technology.
When a web page requires that an applet, plug-in or other application be present on the client system to interpret page content, the page must provide a link to a plug-in or applet that complies with §1194.21(a) through (l).
When electronic forms are designed to be completed on-line, the form shall allow people using Assistive Technology to access the information, field elements, and functionality required for completion and submission of the form, including all directions and cues.
A method shall be provided that permits users to skip repetitive navigation links.

When a timed response is required, the user shall be alerted and given sufficient time to indicate more time is required.
