specification
A precise and detailed description of the requirements, properties, materials, or design of a product, system, or service. It often serves as a binding basis for production or development.
Der Ingenieur prüft, ob das Bauteil den technischen Spezifikationen des Kunden entspricht.
The engineer checks whether the component meets the customer's technical specifications.
Words that end in '-ation' often come from Latin and are always feminine in German. This helps you use the correct article, 'die'.
Die Spezifikation muss von allen Beteiligten genehmigt werden.
The specification must be approved by all parties involved.
The word 'Spezifikation' (specification) is mainly used in formal, technical, or business contexts. You often find it in contracts, technical documents, or project plans.
Die Entwickler müssen sich genau an die Spezifikation halten.
The developers must follow the specification exactly.
Common verbs used with 'Spezifikation' (specification) are 'festlegen' (to define), 'erfüllen' (to fulfill/meet), 'entsprechen' (to correspond to/meet), and 'ändern' (to change). They often describe how requirements are handled in a project.
Das gelieferte Gerät entspricht nicht den vereinbarten Spezifikationen.
The delivered device does not meet the agreed specifications.
requirement / request
An Anforderung is a single condition that a product must meet. Spezifikation, on the other hand, describes the product and its requirements, properties, or materials precisely and in detail. Anforderung is appropriate for an individual criterion, while Spezifikation refers to the comprehensive technical definition.
Die Spezifikation des neuen Geräts beschreibt Laufzeit, Größe und Material im Detail.
The specification for the new device describes its battery life, size, and material in detail.
Eine Anforderung an das neue Gerät ist eine Laufzeit von zehn Stunden.
One requirement for the new device is a battery life of ten hours.
