Takeaways
During the research process for the creation of information for use, technical writers consult standards as an information source. Due to the presumption of conformity, this applies in particular to harmonized standards.
Standards always contain chapters dedicated to terms and their definitions. If the technical writer provides a term together with the standard it refers to, translators will find that term in the target-language standard.
