Specification.
This MUST be connected to your research and analysis. You must make this obvious – For every point in the specification you must have some reason/evidence in your research to back it up. Sometimes you can see things in your existing products pictures e.g. no sharp edges – No loose wires etc.
This is a statement of what you are going to make will have to do i.e. it’s functions. It included enough information to clearly identify the product you will make but try not to limit your design with too much detail e.g. sizes materials etc. It is if you like a list of requirements that your completed product will meet.
It might contain all or some of the following – Use bullet points:
a) What the product must do
b) Any safety issues it must meet
c) Special features for the environment it will be used in
d) How the product will be tested
e) How long the product has to last
f) How the product will be stored or displayed
g) Details of any packaging
h) Details of any instructions required
i) Properties of any materials that will be used
j) Details of what type of finish is required
k) Ergonomic requirements
l) International standards the product must meet – If you quote these you must find out what they are.
m) Visual requirements the product might have
n) Specific performance requirements
o) Cost limits
p) Specific size limits
q) Specific weight limitations
r) Specific material limitations
s) Maintenance requirements e.g. change battery
Select those items that can apply to your project.
