Requirement conflicts and compliance

Requirements that contradict each other, the precedence decision each one needs, and the obligations nobody has confirmed.

Demonstration project - no figure here describes a real facilityChanges are not saved

Why

Conflicts are read from the project's own requirement set. Nothing is resolved by assuming a precedence order.

Writes are validated against the engineering rules and then refused, because no database has been configured for this environment.

Obligations unconfirmed

Precedence is a term of the contract, not a rule of thumb

A contract usually takes precedence over a specification, and a specification over a standard. Usually - the order is itself written somewhere.

Pressure test hold period

The specification requires a 2 hour hold; Appendix D requires the hold to be witnessed and signed, which the contractor has read as 1 hour. The contract takes precedence over the specification and the question is which clause actually states a duration.

REQ-S-3300-22

ZRF-SPC-3300 clause 22.1

The test pressure shall be held for not less than 2 hours with no visible leakage and no pressure loss.

REQ-D-011

ZRF-CTR-APX-D Appendix D clause 6.4

Nothing applies until somebody decides

Neither is applicable, and nothing may cite either.

Record a precedence decision

An unconfirmed obligation is not a requirement

It would put a requirement in a deliverable the contract may not contain. Why

What a conflict blocks

Approval is blocked; drafting is not. Why
