French term
Il est destiné à être appliqué
French to English
Bus/Financial
Business/Commerce (general)
in a Quality Manual
Il est destiné à être appliqué par l'ensemble du personnel de la société et à informer nos clients.
This is what I have for the whole sentence: It is intended to be applied by all company personnel and to inform our clients.
Here's the context BEFORE:
Domaine d’application :
Ce manuel s’applique au site de [location] de la société [company name].
And here's the context AFTER:
Il s'applique également à l'ensemble des activités liées à la conception, fabrication et commercialisation de nos produits. Il fait référence à toutes les procédures générales du système qualité.
I need a translation of this phras (Il est destiné à être appliqué) that is less literal and flows better. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

: imho, serve to guide company staff is a bit (too) far from 'être appliqué par l'ensemble du personnel'

The manual was drawn up to be followed by our entire workforce
and for information to our customers.
Forget: the basic idea in French is: The manual was drawn up to: [reason]
You get bogged down with the intended etc.
