The article intends to discuss the importance of ensuring the user warranty in the process of planning and preparation of documentary languages. Thus, the work of collation was done through literature review of studies of authors who address this issue within the scope of the classification process, found in the Librarianship and Information Science. The article, while focusing its attention on ensuring the user warranty, defines synthetically the literary, structural, and cultural warranties. It talks conceptually about the Systems Information Retrieval and Information Systems, the documentary language and documentary representations used in the process of organizing information. With emphasis on the representation of information, among the indexing languages, the thesaurus, specifically, is highlighted, focusing on its main characteristics in terms of validation. The article also discusses the mechanisms of indexing and description of documents. It can be inferred that the development process of information retrieval systems emerges, in particular, from the advancement of science and technology after the middle of the last century. Regarding the construction of a documentary language, such as the thesaurus, it is concluded that user warranty is a relevant factor since it sets as the legitimation of terms that are used in their demands for research and information.
