ISO/IEC/IEEE 26513:2017 Glossary Definition

Term ISO/IEC/IEEE 26513:2017
Definition

ISO/IEC/IEEE 26513:2017 is a status-qualified standard associated with ISO/IEC/IEEE for Technical Writing and Documentation work. It supports Technical Writing and Documentation by shaping how professional information is planned, written, structured, governed, or delivered.

Context & Usage

Systems and software engineering standard for testers and reviewers of information for users; ISO indicates replacement activity is expected. Professionals may encounter it in documentation programs, governance reviews, training initiatives, compliance work, standards research, or change efforts depending on the setting. Its status should be checked before contractual or compliance use, and the record qualifies the lifecycle status rather than treating the item as automatically current. The standard number, issuing body, and status were evaluated from official or standards-body sources where accessible.
