#ietm documentation

EED-S-048, DME 452, and NCD 1470 are Navy standards for equipment documentation, not directly related to IETM development. Your technical team uses these standards to create manuals. Once approved, the content is formatted to JSS – 0251 standards and shared with IETM vendors like Code and Pixels for conversion to IETMs based on JSG 0852 standard.

EED-S-048, DME 452, and NCD 1470, are purely standards defined by the Navy guiding OEMs to follow these guidelines while making documentation. These are purely technical stuff, and only Defence scientists or technical teams of OEMs who were involved in the development of equipment/devices can prepare. They need domain expertise.

Code and Pixels Interactive Technologies Private Limited (CNP) is an IT service provider based in Hyderabad (India). We provide end-to-end eLearning solutions and IETM development (INDIAN STANDARD IETM JSG 0852:2001, LEVELS 3,4,5 and European Aviation Standard IETM Level4 ), specialized in innovative use of technology.

Technical documentation is a very broad word used in tender documents/Scope Documents. They put the heading as Technical Documentation and in brackets write IETM Level -4 or IETM class-4 mentioning EED-S-048 OR DME 452 OR NCD 1470 JSS 0251 and JSG 0852 standards and ask OEM to deliver in DVDs and some sets of Hard copies.

Some SOTRs may even have Training Aids under Technical documentation.

Your Scope or SOTR shared by the Indian Navy to make IETM will have the Standard names i.e. EED-S-048 OR DME 452 OR NCD 1470.STEP 1 (Content writing)Writing content/ preparing the manual based on the standards (EED-S-048, DME 452 OR NCD 1470.)STEP -2 Standardising/ formatting the contentConverting the raw content into a proper technical document using JSS standard.STEP -3 Converting the final PDF manuals to IETMConverting the approved/vetted Manul to the IETM database using the IETM authoring tool / IETM software.EED-S-048These are Naval standards.Specification of Documentation for new Construction Ships,DME 452The Directorate of Marine Engineering (DME) is a part of the Materiel Branch and works under the overall command and control of the Chief of Materiel, as PSO, and Assistant Chief of Materiel (Dockyard & Refits) as APSO.Documentation SpecificationsNCD 1470Director of Standardisation – Department of Defence ProductionRequirements For Preparation of Documentation For Hull Equipment, Structure, Material and SystemJSS 0251-01:2015 (Rev no. 2)JOINT SERVICES SPECIFICATION (JSS)Procedure for preparation and production of technical publications for electronic and electrical equipmentJSG 0852: 2001 Reaffirmed 2019Joint Services Guide (JSG)Indian defence standard to make IETM

EED-S-048, DME 452, and NCD 1470:

are purely standards defined by the Navy guiding OEMs to follow these guidelines while making documentation. These are purely technical stuff, and only Defence scientists or technical teams of OEMs who were involved in the development of equipment/devices can prepare. They need domain expertise.

These are absolutely in no way relevant to IETM development.

By adhering to EED-S-048 OR DME 452 OR NCD 1470 these standards your technical team will make manuals i.e. User handbooks, Technical Manuals, Maintenance manuals, MRSL etc.

The content may be written poorly formatted by the domain experts as, aesthetically arranging and making a table of contents, header, footers etc. is not the work of technical people.

Once this content is written by the experts the documentation team will come to the picture.

These documents are re-arranged and re-formatted as per JSS – 0251 standards.

Following is the Sequence of Contents to Be Followed While Making Document:

Front/cover page which is printed on thicker paper or laminated

The title page is the same as the Front-page

Record of changes

List of other associated handbooks

Safety warnings in red colour

First-aid instructions

Once the document is made available this will be shared with DGQA and other competent authorities i.e. defence labs etc.

Once these documents are fully vetted they enter into to next phase which is IETM.
