    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This British Standard gives guidance on identifying the criteria necessary for producing a product specification. It also includes guidance on declaring the conformity of the product.

    NOTE1 This British Standard considers common themes applicable to many products, which when examined by those responsible for development, help them to focus on the important criteria for individual products.

    NOTE2 The context in which product information is gathered and ultimately transcribed into one or more specifications is explained in AnnexA. The nature of the resulting specification(s) will vary widely depending upon the complexity and scope of the final product.
