Topic Background
Technical writing surrounds us every day. It is a specific type of writing that is used to present and communicate particular information to the reader. Technical writing presents information to help readers solve problems or gain a better understanding of a situation. The writing conveys technical, complex, or special information in a way that is easy for a non-technical reader to understand. Technical writing may document the way activities are to be performed to facilitate consistent conformance to technical and quality system requirements and to support data quality. It may describe fundamental programmatic or technical actions such as analytical processes, and processes for maintaining as well as calibrating and using equipment.
The development and use of technical documents are an integral part of a successful quality system. They provide information consistently to achieve a quality result.
