Requirement: AS9102 glossary definition

What Requirement means

A requirement is the design or flowed condition that a Form 3 row must verify, such as a dimension, tolerance, note, GD&T control, finish, material callout, or specification reference.

The requirement is not the measured value. It is the acceptance target or condition that the result is compared against during review.

Use this term as a review cue: it should help connect a drawing requirement, specification, certificate, result, or approval field to the evidence a customer will inspect. If the purchase order or customer portal uses stricter wording, follow that controlled source instead of this glossary entry.

Where it appears in AS9102

AS9102 Form 3 field 8 is required. It should preserve enough context for a reviewer to understand the acceptance basis without relying only on the drawing image.

In an Articul review, this term is treated as part of the traceability path from source drawing or flowed requirement to form field, evidence, validation issue, and final approval. Use the AS9102 standard text as the controlled source, and use this glossary to clarify reviewer-facing meaning before export. When the term is ambiguous, keep the reviewer note close to the row or field it affects.

Review notes

• For variable characteristics, include the nominal and tolerance or other acceptance range. For attribute characteristics, state the note, specification, or pass/fail condition clearly enough to support field 9 results.
• Do not enter a short label such as note checked when the actual note text or controlled specification reference is needed to evaluate the result.
• Keep wording, units, identifiers, and attachment names consistent across the drawing, Forms 1-3, evidence files, and any customer portal submission.
