A requirement specification is a set of documented requirements to be satisfied by a material, design, product, or service.[1]
A functional specification is closely related to the requirement specification and may show functional block diagrams.
A design or product specification describes the features of the solutions for the Requirement Specification, referring to the designed solution or final produced solution. Sometimes the term specification is here used in connection with a data sheet (or spec sheet). This may be confusing. A data sheet describes the technical characteristics of an item or product as designed and/or produced. It can be published by a manufacturer to help people choose products or to help use the products. A data sheet is not a technical specification as described in this article.
