ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee
has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types
of ISO document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the

Introduction
This document addresses the classification of requirements. It provides a framework for building a
system to enable the classification of requirements and an indication of the classification in the functional
specification, FUN-SPEC, to support communication of the consequences of nonconformity to functional
requirements. FUN-SPEC (see ISO/TS 21619) is a part of the technical product documentation (TPD). Other
approaches than classification of requirements can be state of the art in achieving the objective of securing
the end product.
This document has been developed mainly to be implemented within industry, e.g. the automotive and
aerospace industries. However, it can also be used in other engineering fields.
Classification of requirements is a tool by which subsequent parties and stakeholders can be informed of
the severity of consequences of nonconformity of requirements. This facilitates the guiding of production
and quality assurance resources (e.g. purchasing, production planning, control, revision). The classification
system relies on established procedures, regulatory framework and contractual agreements for
implementation and follow up as present in all modern industry.
There are several examples of industrial stakeholders that deploy their own or partially self-developed
system and methodology for classification of requirements. There has previously not been any ISO document
that pragmatically describes “what is” and “how to create” a classification system. This series bridges the
identified gap and meets the need to describe how to introduce and work with a classification system in an
industrial and design context.
Knowledge of the consequences of nonconformity with requirements, and actions taken to resolve the source
of the deviation from the given requirements, will have a positive effect on product quality, user safety and
economy of the product. Production and inspection resources can then be used where they are most needed.
Annex A gives classification examples with severity and susceptibility.
Annex B gives guidance on susceptibility.

1 Scope
This document specifies a method for the classification of requirements based on severity and susceptibility.
The classification method requires a system in line with the framework described in ISO 24096-1 to form a
complete system.
This document:
— gives guidance on the needed elements for a consistent evaluation of the severity over time, and supports
a company business model and its brand image;
— gives background to why additional parameters alongside severity are useful as a base for classification;
— adds susceptibility as a viable parameter along with severity;
— gives guidance on the methodology for classification requirements using severity and susceptibility.
