Terms, definitions and abbreviated terms
3.1 Terms from other standards
For the purposes of this Standard, the terms and definitions from ECSS-S-ST-00-01
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.
NOTE 4 Adapted from EN 1325-1.
3.2.2 environment
natural conditions and induced conditions that constrain the design
definitions for end products and their enabling products
NOTE Examples of natural conditions are weather,
climate, ocean conditions, terrain, vegetation,
dust, light and radiation. Example of induced
conditions are electromagnetic interference,
heat, vibration, pollution and contamination.
3.2.3 environment
external factors affecting an enterprise or project
3.2.4 environment
external factors affecting development tools, methods, or
processes
3.2.5 function
intended effect of a system, subsystem, product or part
NOTE 1 Adapted from EN 1325-1.
NOTE 2 Functions should have a single definite
purpose. Function names should have a
declarative structure (e.g. “Validate
Telecommands”), and say “what” is to be done
rather than “how”. Good naming allows design
components with strong cohesion to be easily
derived.
3.2.6 functional analysis
technique of identifying and describing all functions of a system
NOTE Adapted from EN 1325-1.
3.2.7 life cycle
time interval between the conceptual exploration of the product introduction to
its withdrawal from service
3.2.8 mission
a possible instantiation of the mission statement in a mission concept
NOTE 1 Each mission is described in an MDD.
NOTE 2 The implementation in time is called mission
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.
3.2.10 specification
document stating requirements
NOTE 1 A specification can be related to activities (e.g.
procedure document, process specification and
test specification), or products (e.g. technical
requirements specification)
NOTE 2 Adapted from ISO 9000:2000.
3.2.11 technical requirements specification
document by which the customer establishes the intended purpose of a
product, its associated constraints and environment, the operational and
performances features
NOTE The TS is the baseline of the business agreement
to develop or purchase the selected solution.
This specification is called in some projects
System Requirements Document (SRD).
3.3 Abbreviated terms

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).
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.
