Content quality check - overview
The OSD platform includes a set of inbuilt checks and rules based on ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 and ISO house style that assist authors draft their standards so that certain content quality issues can be addressed from the earliest stages in the development of a document.
Currently, the following categories of content quality check are available in the platform:

| Terminology rules and usage | Checks related to terminology rules. |
| Spelling and language | Checks spelling against British English and inclusive language. |
| Document structure | Checks unsupported structure of the document. It searches for untagged keywords (e.g. notes, examples), too many levels of subdivision, isolated subclauses and hanging paragraphs. |
| Legal, CA and MSS | Highlights words related to conformance, legal, patents, management systems, copyright, etc. |
