Specifications serve as detailed documents that define explicit requirements for materials, products, and processes beyond the general requirements laid out by codes and standards. They provide a clear and precise framework for what is expected in a project, ensuring that specific needs are met that may not be fully captured by existing codes or standards.

This focus on explicitness allows for the customization of requirements to suit unique project conditions or organizational needs. By doing so, specifications ensure adherence to quality, safety, and performance expectations that align closely with the project's goals, thereby enhancing clarity and accountability in execution.

While general guidelines for process design may provide some context, they do not offer the exact details that specifications do. Open-ended criteria for evaluation may lead to ambiguity, which specifications aim to avoid by being definitive. Technical training for maintenance staff, while important, does not directly relate to the function of specifications in relation to codes and standards.
