A target specification describes what the buyer wants. A supplier declaration describes what the supplier says it can provide. A verified result records what an identified sample or production lot demonstrated under a stated check or test. These three statements should remain separate until the same product, evidence and acceptance criteria connect them.
Target specification
Use target language for requested dimensions, construction, materials, packaging and performance before a supplier and sample are approved. A target is a sourcing requirement, not a product claim.
Supplier declaration
A declaration records information supplied by the quoted party. Keep the source and date visible, and do not remove the supplier attribution until independent or buyer-defined verification exists.
Verified result
A verified result needs an identified item, defined method or inspection procedure, result, date and responsible reviewer. It proves only the scope that was actually checked.
Use the distinction in product content
Product pages should identify the product and published configuration, distinguish supplier-declared fields, and publish test or inspection claims only when the supporting scope can be shown. Commercial terms such as MOQ and lead time should remain quotation-dependent until confirmed.
Method and claim boundary
This guide describes SPECVANTA's RFQ and quality-control method. Product specification, price, MOQ, sample terms, certification scope and delivery time for an order are confirmed only in the applicable SPECVANTA quotation and approved documents.
Review the quality and evidence processCommon questions
Can a product image prove product performance?
No. A product image can identify the item and visible configuration, but it does not by itself prove material composition, dimensions, durability, compatibility or production consistency.
When can a target specification become an approved specification?
After the buyer and supplier agree the written fields and the required sample and evidence checkpoints are completed. The approval record should identify the accepted version.
Should unverified fields be deleted?
Not always. They can remain as explicit targets or pending questions, but they should not be presented as verified selling claims.
