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.

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 -3
Converting the final PDF manuals to IETM
Converting the approved/vetted Manul to the
IETM database using the IETM authoring tool /
IETM software

4. Following are the steps to develop and deliver the IETM
projects.
STEP-1: Preparing the Table of content
Collect all the Approved PDF files and create a broad Module list. Each client/project has different types
of manuals.
All the manuals will be categorized and a detailed table of content is prepared. If the delivery is very big
then a broad classification would be something like the below.

5. 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 tOnce 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.

8. Once the document is made available this will be shared with DGQA and other competent authorities i.e.
defense labs etc.
Once these documents are fully vetted, they enter into to next phase which is IETM.
The approved PDFs will be shared with IETM vendors like us/code and pixels for converting to IETM
based on JSG 0852 standard, which the standard defined to make IETMs
