29. Requirement
Stable section ID: S05-CON-015-SECTION-30 · 11 content blocks
A Requirement is a uniquely identifiable, traceable, necessary, and verifiable statement defining an outcome, function, performance level, interface condition, constraint, documentation obligation, or lifecycle responsibility that shall be satisfied.
A valid Requirement shall identify, directly or through controlled context:
the applicable subject;
the required condition or behavior;
the circumstances under which it applies;
the relevant limits or acceptance criteria;
the intended verification method or evidence class;
its source, authority, and lifecycle status.
A Requirement defines what shall be achieved and shall remain distinct from the design solution selected to achieve it.
Requirements should be atomic where independent verification is necessary. They shall not rely on vague language, hidden assumptions, undefined comparatives, or uncontrolled terminology.
A proposed or draft Requirement has no binding force until approved within an applicable requirement baseline.
