apply.
3.2 Terms specific to the present standard
3.2.1 constraint
characteristic, result or design feature which is made compulsory or has been
prohibited for any reason
NOTE 1 Constraints are generally restrictions on the
choice of solutions in a system.
NOTE 2 Two kinds of constraints are considered, those
which concern solutions, and those which
concern the use of the system.
NOTE 3 For example constraints can come from
environmental and operational conditions, law,
standards, market demand, investments and
means availability, or the organization’s policy.

scenario.
3.2.9 need
what is necessary for, or desired by, the user
NOTE 1 A need can be declared or undeclared; it can be
an existing or a potential one.
NOTE 2 The user is a person or an organization for
which the product is designed and which
exploits at least one of its functions at any time
during its life cycle.
NOTE 3 For the space community, the needs are often
called mission statement.
NOTE 4 Adapted from EN 1325-1.

Technical requirements specification
purpose and description
4.1 Technical requirements specification purpose and
description
The technical requirements specification is a document through which a
customer expresses his needs (or those that he is responsible for expressing)
and the related environment and constraints in terms of technical requirements.
The technical requirements contained in the TS allow for potential suppliers to
propose the best technical and programmatic solutions.
NOTE The intention of the technical requirements
specification is not to assume or refer to specific
solutions.
The TS is the technical reference for the qualification of the design and for the
acceptance of the end product.
In that scope, the technical requirements contained in the TS are subject to the
agreed change process defined in the business agreement. They are attainable
and verifiable.
NOTE The change process itself can change in
between project phases (Phase 0, A, B, C/D).
4.2 TS content
A technical requirements specification is typically composed of three major sets
of information:
• General information related to the context of the document (e.g.
administrative information, normative documents and informative
documents);
• General information related to the context of the project, the product or
system;
• Technical requirements (described in clauses 6 and 8).
11

---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------

SIST EN 16603-10-06:2014
EN 16603-10-06:2014 (E)
The specification provides the general information related to its context:
• Administrative information: to provide all the information regarding, for
example, the owner, status, identification, distribution list, and
management rule;
• Scope: to define without ambiguity the subject of the TS and aspects
covered, thereby indicating limits of applicability;
• References: to list all the normative (applicable) documents and standards,
with titles, issue revision, and dates that are referred to in the TS;
• Terms, definitions and abbreviated terms: to list the specific terms and
abbreviated terms used in the TS.
It also provides general information related to the context of the project,
product or system:
• to provide a clear and rapid understanding of the project and the main
needs or mission statements;
• to give indications of the market as additional information, as well as
information about the context of the project and the objectives (situation
of the project in a larger programme, further developments);
• to provide information on the environment and its constraints;
• to detail the different situations of the product or system life cycle.

Process for establishing a technical
requirements specification
5.1 General
The management of a programme necessitates the establishment of a set of
successive states of a product and a network of customer and supplier
relationships.
The successive states of a product are characterised by initially a “high level”
(e.g. rather of functional type) definition of needs / requirements (e.g. at
Phase 0), evolving progressively to a more precise (e.g. at phase B) or frozen
(e.g. Phase C, or procurement of an equipment) definition of all requirements.
The procurement of products is governed by business agreements between two
parties - the customer and the supplier. At any intermediate level, the supplier
of an item acts as customer in specifying components towards its suppliers.
A business agreement results from a process between a customer with a
problem to solve, and a supplier with potential solutions. This results in a set of
requirements that engages both parties. The list of technical requirements
constitutes an important part of the business agreement and is adapted to the
nature of the expected outcome. This list is contained in the technical
requirements specification.
5.2 Process for establishing a technical requirements
specification
The process to establish the technical requirements specification during Phase 0
of a project starts with the identification and evaluation of the different possible
concepts to establish the TS . This step is needed in phase 0 for space projects
with low heritage. It can also be required in Phase A.
NOTE A functional analysis can be performed to
capture the technical requirements
(see EN 12973).
It consists of an initial assessment of the project and results in the preliminary
TS, as illustrated in Figure 5-1. The purpose of this preliminary TS is to express
the customer’s need, mission statement, associated environmental constraint
and programmatic element in terms of technical requirements (i.e. the problem
to solve). This document serves as a basis to initiate the next step.

Where:

mission statements, associated environments and constraints. He
expresses these in terms of technical requirements;
• The F1.2 task: The customer structures, classifies and justifies (see 8.1.1)
individual technical requirements;
• The F1.3 task: The customer assesses the entire set of technical
requirements for correctness, consistency and suitability for the intended
use;
• The F1.4 task: The customer establishes the preliminary TS and releases it.
The second step consists of the exploration among the different possible
concepts ensuring the conformity to the defined needs, then the selection of one
concept, and results in the TS. This version is progressively drafted from the
preliminary TS and takes into account the induced constraints from the possible
concepts. Figure 5-2 illustrates this process.

Where:
• The F1.5 task: The customer reviews the preliminary TS, identifies and
proposes possible concepts;
• The F1.6 task: The customer evaluates and selects preferred concepts;
• The F1.7 task: The customer identifies the need for changes to the
preliminary TS taking into account the limitations and possibilities
induced by the selected preferred concepts. Then, he expresses the
adjusted or new individual technical requirements;
• The F1.8 task: The customer structures, classifies and justifies (see 8.2.1)
the individual technical requirements;
• The F1.9 task: The customer assesses the entire set of technical requirements
for correctness, consistency and suitability for the intended use;
• The F1.10 task: The customer establishes the TS and releases it.
The process described is applicable at each decomposition level where the
solution to be developed is chosen (e.g. for establishing a system level
specification, or a lower level specification).
The outcome of this process, the technical requirements specification (TS), is a
set of technical requirements to be issued by the customer and to be included in
the business agreement for the development.
NOTE The customer, as a result of the negotiation of the
business agreement with the supplier, can decide to
update a few elements of his TS (as of other requirements
specifications attached to the business agreement). This
updated TS is then included in the business agreement
for the next phase. In conformance with ECSS-M-ST-10,
this update is typically done as a result of the SRR.
