Most English native readers will understand the text above. Although we must admit it is fairly atrocious.\u00a0 We are so used to reading context, that even when letters are missing or transposed we still understand. Sometimes [sic ]don’t even notice the errors. We have come acustomed<\/u> [sic] to our browsers and text document processors telling us the spelling of a word is not recognised. However, unless there is some form of context processing too, a smelling [sic] mistake would get through even if a sbelling<\/u> [sic] mistake was highlighted.<\/p>\n

Proof<\/h4>\n
\"EV<\/a>
1m not 1mm high<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

March the 8th recognised proof reading day, which may be a delight for the pedants among or is that amongst us. However, it does highlight the importance of peer review.\u00a0 Proof reading is generally defined as “a process of finding and correcting textual mistakes before it is published” <\/em>Elements that are easily overlooked when you read information back to yourself are often picked out faster by another. You “know” what you intended to write, and the human brain is very good at telling you that’s what is on the page.<\/p>\n

Typos<\/h4>\n

It may be blatantly obvious you meant the EV socket was to be placed 1m<\/strong> from the floor but that extra ‘m<\/strong>‘ that remained in your text was a typo. Now no one can plug their car into the socket that is 1mm<\/strong> from the floor. You would hope the contractor would question this. However, not all errors are as obvious, incorrectly specifying a tolerance of 0.01mm<\/strong> or 0.1mm <\/strong>could either mean some costly but unnecessary machining, or components that don’t fit depending on the use case. \u00a0 Language semantics can also get in the way of clear communication. Peers are likely to question whether you really wanted to separate those who may consider cannibalism;\u00a0 “To avoid smells, the train buffet service should segregate eating passengers”<\/strong>. Whilst in reality it is unlikely to be misconstrued, it may show a less than professional approach to your stakeholders especially in a presentation\u00a0 or final review.<\/p>\n

Discussions<\/h4>\n

In Cradle we have covered the benefits of reviews and formal base-lining. However we also advocate the use of Discussions<\/a> <\/em>as a method of reviewing and recording comments and notes.<\/p>\n

Checkers<\/h4>\n

Cradle supports a Conformance Checker<\/a> to examine the correctness of requirements against a set of language \/ semantic checks. If you have ToolSuite you can also access a SpellChecker<\/a> to examine your item’s text.<\/p>\n

ISO9001<\/h2>\n
\"UKAS<\/a>
3SL Certificate Number 16926 ISO 9001<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

3SL are proud to announce their third year recertification for ISO9001. The team working with the audit\u00a0 said we passed with flying colours and there were no non-conformances. This is a testimony to all who have helped throughout the year improving and recording our processes.<\/p>\n

The ISO says of the scheme<\/p>\n

“ISO 9001 sets out the criteria for a quality management system and is the only standard in the family that can be certified to (although this is not a requirement). It can be used by any organization, large or small, regardless of its field of activity. In fact, there are over one million companies and organizations in over 170 countries certified to ISO 9001.
\nThis standard is based on a number of quality management principles including a strong customer focus, the motivation and implication of top management, the process approach and continual improvement. These principles are explained in more detail in ISO\u2019s\u00a0quality management principles<\/a>. Using ISO 9001 helps ensure that customers get consistent, good-quality products and services, which in turn brings many business benefits.”[1]<\/sup><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
