ISO standards are internationally agreed by worldwide experts. They overcome countries' differences and facilitate global trade. If a buying organisation is sourcing globally, they should use ISO standards within the specification.

An implied term is a term which the courts imply into a contract because it has not been expressly included by the parties. This may be because the parties did not consider it, did not think that any problem would arise in relation to it or simply omitted to include it.

The courts are very reluctant to imply terms into contracts and will only do so in the following circumstances:

- terms implied under statute

- terms implied under common law

- terms implied because of custom or usage

- terms implied due to previous dealings

- terms implied ‘in fact’ or to reflect the parties’ intentions

According to CIPS, there are two main types of specification:

- Conformance specification – is more output driven as it outlines the product details exactly which may include the material, dimensions, tolerances, source, ingredients, packaging, storage of the part or material.

- Performance specification – is more output driven in terms of what the part or material must achieve.

Among the four options, only 2. 'Description of the operating environments' and 3.'Chemical formulae' are possible components of a conformance specification.Brand names can be a part of a performance specification, according to a document published by CIPS and NIGP.
