disagree  mckinnc: I only ever really hear this used when talking of inalienable rights under a constitution. It would sound out of place in this context.

indispensable (or different phrasing)


Explanation:
Webster's 1913 Dictionary
In`dis`pen´sa`ble
a. 1.
1. Not dispensable; impossible to be omitted, remitted, or spared; absolutely necessary or requisite.
2. (Eccl.) Not admitting dispensation; not subject to release or exemption.
The law was moral and indispensable.
- Bp. Burnet.
3. Unavoidable; inevitable.

WordNet Dictionary
Adj. 1. indispensable - not to be dispensed with; essential; "foods indispensable to good nutrition"
Antonyms:
dispensable - capable of being dispensed with or done without; "dispensable items of personal property"
2. indispensable - absolutely necessary; vitally necessary; "essential tools and materials"; "funds essential to the completion of the project"; "an indispensable worker"
Synonyms: essential
3. indispensable - unavoidable; "the routine but indispensable ceremonies of state"

Ad ogni modo penso che riformulerei in modo simile al seguente:

"it is necessary to comply with the requirements set forth in the specification"

"the specification requirements are necessarily to be complied with"

O qualcosa del genere!

agree  esoft: of course, this is the correct translation although, indispensable seldom used in IT
53 mins
agree  tr. (X): the last two phrases you suggested - but I'd go for 'requirements *must be* complied with' instead of the 'necessary' locution

must have


Explanation:
IT Requests for Proposal almost always distinguish requirements as
"must have" and "optional".

When a requirement is "must have" it indicates that you cannot do without it, hence "irrinunciabile"

agree  tr. (X): yes, but the term is used in a full phrase here, not just as a standalone flag to mark requirements - so I'd combine your and Manuela's last suggestions (and your agree) :)

compulsory


Explanation:
as in "compulsory requirements"

--------------------------------------------------
Note added at 2004-08-03 15:41:00 (GMT)
--------------------------------------------------

or also, \"mandatory\"

alternatively, something along the lines of the alternative translations Manuela suggested above - \"all requirements in... must be complied with/met/fulfilled/etc.\"

see here - this corresponds also to what esoft says about the \"must\" flag:

http://www.lib.helsinki.fi/finelib/portaali/portaalirfp.html

----
There are two levels of requirements: \"must\" and \"should\"
... All requirements indicated by \"must\" must be fulfilled. However proposals which do not meet all mandatory requirements may be accepted. In such cases the vendor must indicate some other solution to provide the same service required.
----



--------------------------------------------------
Note added at 2004-08-03 15:46:54 (GMT)

I guess \"requirements must be fulfilled\" is probably more common. Another alternative could be \"satisfied\".
