technical specification
A term of art under the Agreement on Government Procurement. "Technical specifications lay[] down the characteristics of the products or services to be procured, such as quality, performance, safety and dimensions, symbols, terminology, packaging, marking and labelling, or the processes and methods for their production[."] (Quoted from AGP article VI § 1.) A specification may simultaneously be a standard, a technical regulation, or a technical specification in different contexts. Also commonly referred to as a "procurement specification."See also: AGP, standard, technical regulation
