The technical specification is the most important technical contract document between client and contractor. A well-written specification ensures the right product is procured at the right quality with comparable bids; a vague one lays the ground for quality disputes and additional cost claims during execution. The health of procurement and tender processes depends largely on this document.
Miratek prepares technical specifications with reference to IEC and TS EN standards and TEDAŞ technical specifications. Rather than dictating brands, the specifications define functional requirements, material acceptance criteria, and test conditions — establishing a procurement process that is competitive yet has a clear quality bar. Because they come from a team that also manufactures panels and executes on site, every clause in the specifications passes through a practicability filter.
The prepared specifications are used as annexes to the tender file, the procurement process, or the contract, and at the acceptance stage they form the basis of the test and inspection criteria.

How We Work
Needs and Scope Definition
The systems the specification will cover, the operating conditions, and the client's expectations are clarified.
Standards and Regulation Review
The relevant IEC and TS EN standards and authority specifications are identified to form the reference framework.
Specification Drafting
Technical requirements, acceptance criteria, and test conditions are written as functional, measurable clauses.
Client Review
The draft is reviewed together with the client, and field and operations feedback is worked into the document.
Final Delivery
The specification is delivered in its final form, ready to be annexed to the tender or procurement file.
Scope of Work
- Preparation of equipment and material technical specifications
- Drafting of installation and workmanship specifications
- Definition of test, inspection, and acceptance criteria
- Revision of existing specifications against current standards
- Preparation of the technical annexes of tender files
- Specification compliance checks during bid evaluation
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it right to name brands in a specification?
In public tenders, dictating a brand is against the legislation; in the private sector it narrows competition and raises cost. The right approach is to define the required quality level through standard references, technical parameters, and test requirements. Different brands can then compete while the quality bar is preserved.
Can you update our old specification?
Yes. The existing specification is screened against the standards in force and current product technology; invalid references, missing test conditions, and unworkable clauses are identified and revised. The rationale for each revision is reported clause by clause.
How is the specification used at the acceptance stage?
The test and inspection criteria defined in the specification serve as the yardstick at provisional and final acceptance. The equipment and work the contractor delivers are audited against these criteria. Writing the specification in measurable clauses from the start therefore removes most disputes from the acceptance process.
