Performance Specifications

the initial document for the designing of a structure, industrial complex, or engineering device, such as an instrument, machine, or control system, or for conducting scientific research. The performance specifications contain feasibility reports for development, the basic specifications for the structure or article, and the initial data needed for design. They state the purpose of the project, the area of use, the development stages and composition of design documentation, and completion deadlines, as well as special requirements resulting from specific features of the project itself or the project’s operating conditions. The performance specifications are usually drawn up on the basis of analysis of the results of preliminary research, calculations, and modeling.
