4.7/5

The ASD S1000D specification makes it possible to meet document production needs aimed at ensuring the operational readiness of equipment (systems and devices) with a long lifecycle and involving many stakeholders.

The ASD S1000D specification makes it possible to meet document production needs aimed at ensuring the operational readiness of equipment (systems and devices) with a long lifecycle and involving many stakeholders.

This practical training aims to deepen the methods and rules of the specification so that technical writers can apply it to their projects.

The areas of application generally involve increasing equipment availability rates and the safety of systems such as aerospace, space, maritime, rail, transportation, and defense.
