Abstract :
A well-written specification for a machine is essential from both the manufacturer and user standpoints. For the manufacturer, he knows the requirements for the machine he is to build and for the user he has defined a machine that will meet his needs. Both parties are protected by the specification. The manufacturer has fulfilled his obligation by compliance with the specification and the user gets the product that meets his requirements. The potential for an adversarial situation that could lead to litigation is thereby mitigated. The following guidelines are directed towards the specification for new machines. However, they can also be applied to modifications to existing machines such as up rates where particular objectives are to be met. For electric machinery, specifications covering rewinds and overhauls can also be very useful
