A) A chemical formula seems too precise to be non-conformance.

I could be wrong, but I think a statement of outputs might not fit the definition of conformance either.
OL

I practiced a similar question where we had to identify specifications, and I feel like drawings are definitely conformance specs.

OC
Octavio 11 months ago
I think a brand name is unlikely to be a conformance specification because it doesn't specify how something should be made.
GE

Alright, I've got a strategy. I'll eliminate the options that clearly don't fit, then focus on the trickier ones. Gotta stay calm and use the process of elimination.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I think I need to review my notes on conformance specs before attempting to answer.
DE

I've got a hunch that the brand name option is the least likely to be a conformance spec, but I'll double-check my understanding just to be sure.

Okay, let's see. A chemical formula seems like it could be a conformance spec, but I'm not sure. Drawings and brand names are less clear to me.
