4.1.1 Requirement Statement
The requirements must be phrased with the definitive word “shall” and have a unique number for
reference purposes. Each requirement and its identifier must be in a separated paragraph,
i.e., one “shall” per paragraph. See also Section 10 of this document. The on-line RequisitePro
FNS Template contains the standard formatting for requirements numbers, including prefixes.
Exhibit 1-3 is an example of requirements stated in such a manner.
