Navigating Global Compliance: The Integral Role of User Manual Translation and Localization Services
Discover the critical role of user manual translation and localization in meeting global regulatory compliance. Learn how Hansem Global leverages expertise and technology to ensure your international product manuals adhere to local regulations.
Project Summary
When selling products internationally, compliance with local regulatory requirements is imperative. These requirements can vary significantly depending on regional laws, safety regulations, and environmental standards. For instance, products released in the U.S. must meet specific standards such as FCC certification and Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) safety requirements. This vital regulatory information must be accurately reflected in user manuals, a task that global tech giants like Samsung Electronics take very seriously.
Samsung, a leading global manufacturer of electronic devices and semiconductors, focuses on innovative technology development and quality management, playing a crucial role in the global electronics market. Since 1990, Samsung has relied on Hansem Global to ensure its user manuals meet each country’s regulatory requirements, reflecting the necessary information in each locale-specific manual.
Challenges
The main hurdle in crafting user manuals stems from the varied and intricate international regulatory demands. Since there’s no universal template due to diverse legal standards across nations, and with the need to translate manuals into over 50 languages, this becomes a complex endeavor. Complicating matters further, all regulatory stipulations must be seamlessly incorporated into the manuals before product launches, within tight production timelines. Typically, the consolidation of regulatory approvals and information happens near product release, a phase vulnerable to human errors, thus introducing extra risk elements.
