In addition to the mandatory directives and regulations, we take into account the relevant Delegated and Implementing Regulations to Regulation (EU) 2013/167 (Mother Regulation).
We also benchmark your documentation against voluntary standards such as EN ISO 12100:2010 and EN ISO 20607:2019, which provide recognised best practice for structuring Instructions for Use and Maintenance Manuals.
By doing so, we not only confirm compliance but also help elevate the quality, clarity and usability of your content.

Simplified Technical English: Enhancing Technical Documentation
Technical documentation can be difficult to understand due to complex sentence structures, multiple word meanings, and the use of synonyms.
Controlled Language standardises vocabulary and style, improving consistency, eliminating ambiguity, and reducing complexity.
ONE WORD, ONE MEANING
Why Adopt Controlled Language?
Enhanced Documentation Quality
Significantly increases readability of technical documentation, making it more accessible to all users.
Standardises terminology across all documents, ensuring consistency in language use.
Operational Improvements
Reduces errors during maintenance procedures through clearer instructions.
Decreases costs and time required for training new staff and engineers.
Business Benefits
Increases customer satisfaction through more accessible documentation.
Validates text for Six Sigma compliance and reduces insurance product costs through improved clarity.
Costs and timing reduction
Controlled English is a specialised language that simplifies technical and regulatory documentation by using a limited vocabulary and following strict grammar rules. By adopting Controlled English, organizations can dramatically reduce the size of their written content by up to 30% without sacrificing clarity or meaning.
Quaternary Pump
When turned on, the quaternary pump runs through the initialization procedure to determine the upper dead center of the first plunger. The first plunger moves slowly upwards into the mechanical stop of chamber and from there it moves back a predetermined path length.

Quaternary Pump
When the Quaternary Pump starts operation, the plunger moves inside the chamber. This movement lets the computer calculate and store a position called “Top Dead Center” (TDC).

The Evolution from Simplified to Controlled Languages
Simplified Technical English (STE)
A controlled language originally developed for aerospace and defence industries
Also known as ASD-STE100
Mandatory for all NATO vehicles and equipment
Controlled English
An extension of STE principles to other industries
Companies outside aerospace and defence use STE as a foundation
Adapted to suit specific industry terminology and documentation requirements
Controlled Languages
The primary aim of these systems is to enhance understanding and minimize uncertainty in technical documents. This is achieved through the implementation of meticulous vocabulary and grammar rules, which work together to create clear, concise, and consistent communication. By adhering to a set of precise linguistic guidelines, these systems help ensure that technical information is conveyed in a way that is easily comprehensible to the intended audience. The vocabulary used is carefully selected to be unambiguous, while the grammar rules enforce a structured and logical flow of information. The end result is technical documentation that is not only informative, but also highly accessible. Readers can quickly grasp the key concepts without getting bogged down by complex language or convoluted phrasing. This ultimately leads to better comprehension, fewer errors, and more effective knowledge transfer – all of which are critical for success in technical domains.
Basic Principles of Controlled Language
Controlled Vocabulary
- Limited set of approved words with restricted meanings
- Thesaurus of unapproved terms with suggested alternatives
- Guidelines for adding new technical words to the approved vocabulary
Grammatical Rules
- Use the active voice
- Use articles wherever possible
- Use simple verb tenses
- Use language and terminology consistently
- Avoid lengthy compound words
- Use relatively short sentences
These principles work together to create documentation that is clear, concise, and consistently understandable to all readers, especially non-native speakers and those with limited technical vocabulary.
