A document that prescribes technical requirements to be fulfilled by a product, process, or service under ESPR.
Technical specification is the bridge between broad product-law obligations and the technical detail needed to implement or assess them. It helps turn performance, information, or conformity expectations into concrete requirements for products, processes, or services.
ESPR defines technical specification as a document prescribing technical requirements for a product, process, or service. It should be linked to performance requirements, information requirements, conformity assessment, and standards rather than treated as a loose internal engineering note.
Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 establishing a framework for the setting of ecodesign requirements for sustainable products
a document that prescribes technical requirements to be fulfilled by a product, process or service;
Reference: Article 2, point 49
Implementation records should capture the specification document, technical requirement, product or process scope, service scope where relevant, test or design method, assessment evidence, version, and link to performance, information, or conformity requirements.
Technical specification is a technical-requirement control: the evidence consequence is that broad product-law requirements can be translated into concrete documents, attributes, tests, and assessment evidence without treating the specification as the final legal conclusion.
