TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
We don't have an official sign-off for accuracy per se, mainly because trying to get developers to do that kind of thing brings to mind clichés about herding cats :-), but the SMEs do (at least) two rounds of reviews whenever we put something out.
Product Management has the final responsibility for all phases of the product here, including doc, so they are the only ones who do a formal sign-off.

Subject: sign-off procedure
In the organization where I am working we are establishing a sign-off for
technical accuracy. Perhaps somebody can let me know whether product
documents should be signed-off for technical accuracy and coverage of
functionality by the development team or the technical writer and why.
Best,
Mark
