    As we all know specifications are essential for any product and not only affect the validation and verification of a product but everything that is the product. We saw in the minisim this week one of the set backs of the high specificity in a requirement. Should specifications reflect the limits to which any individual component can be to function properly, with buffers of course, giving more room for certain variations but increasing the risk? Do specifications have to be the guidelines for validation or testing in QC or are they the outer limit? Is it okay for specification to have a one sided bound as opposed to double bound, such as in the case with the better coefficient of friction? (assuming it doesn’t affect the product in a negative way)
