Abstract
This paper discusses the rules or guidelines to follow when writing a system specification. These guidelines were derived from an investigation to evaluate how people understand a written specification. The specification can be written at three basic levels: (a) the designer/manufacturer specification, (b) the supplier/retailer specification, (c) the buyer/user specification. The rules relating to the writing of these specifications are discussed.
