Die Anforderungen an die Produktdokumentation sind in der EU gut geregelt und den europäischen Herstellern weitgehend bekannt. Der Schritt, in Nicht-EU-Länder zu exportieren, stellt die Abteilungen für technische Redaktion jedoch vor neue Herausforderungen. Es ist unerlässlich, die Produktdokumentation für den jeweiligen Markt fit zu machen. Ein klares Konzept und Wissen über regulatorische Angelegenheiten ist daher eine Grundvoraussetzung für einen erfolgreichen Markteintritt.

Product documentation requirements are well regulated in the EU and largely known to European manufacturers. However, the move to export to non-EU countries presents new challenges for technical writing departments. It is essential to make the product documentation fit for the respective market. A clear concept and knowledge of regulatory matters is therefore a basic requirement for successful market entry.
