I Quality Assurance Product Manuals
I ensure clear and correct product instructions — new and old — in Danish, German and English. Everything meets current EU requirements, including CE marking according to the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.

Quality Assurance Product Manuals: NEW / 'OLD', GERMAN/ENGLISH/DANISH – according to EU Standards, e.g. for CE marking according to 2006/42/EC MACHINERY DIRECTIVE
Your company is undoubtedly fantastic for producing YOUR products:
You have a strong focus on Development, Production, Marketing and Sales.
Productinstructions can therefore easily end up in the 2nd row. This is where I can take over:
22 years as a Technical Writer, of which 9 years in Germany, a pioneer in the field
MY CONCEPT: Highly qualified in language and Engineer (Master, Aalborg University)
Learn German – and you also learn English and Danish Grammar
Industry experience:
Transportation, Military/Defense, Acoustics, Electricity, Software, Green/Renewable Energy.
Regardless of industry/product:
Trains, armored vehicles, microphones, alarms, software, solar cells or wind turbines:
Always the same challenges by instructions:
Contents (Safety, Description, Operation, Maintenance, etc.),
Standards, Structure, Language, Illustrations, etc.
Comply with EU directives:
Apply standards
Graphics and Text: must go hand in hand – here are two examples:
Cocontent management: is to organize, maintain and manage digital content effectively. Single-Source Publishing (SSP) means that you reuse the same content across
of multiple media to avoid duplication of work and ensure consistent texts. See more here..
Microphone calibration system (from GRAS Sound & Vibration): The drawing works as:
1. Parts list, 2. Functional diagram, 3. Installation instructions, 4. Setup for Control/test.
Only one drawing to generate and maintain – also a form of Single-Source Publishing.
(A) Product guides that work!
(B) German/English/Danish: Teaching etc.
MY Concept:
Engineer, Aalborg University:
Also study in documentation
German/English/Danish:
Used English daily for decades
Work in 7 German federal states
(A) Product guides that work!
I have 22 years of experience in preparing and optimizing guides – in many different industries – see Companies.
Regardless of product: Always the same challenges:
The content must first be in place. This includes, among other things:
1.-Product Description, 2-Safety Instructions, 3-Installation, 4. Operation, 4. Troubleshooting, 5. Maintenance, 6. Spare Parts, 6. Disposal, …
Larger companies often use a Content Management System (CMS) w/ Single-source Publishing (SSP)
improve must then be in place – a logical table of contents.
Illustrations og Text must go hand in hand – so that the user can quickly grasp the message.
You can find more information about creating guides in to standards.
