Gregg,



Yes, in the case of font size the product size is the deciding factor.



Then how about sound volume. "For voice and/or sound, products shall provide
an adjustable gain" is a common requirement. But the required minimum gain
may different; e.g. TV must be louder than headset.



It is reasonable that:



1. In the general part, we write specifications that do not include
quantitative measures; e.g. "For voice and/or sound, products shall provide
an adjustable gain."

2. In sub-category parts, we provide reasonable quantitative measures;
e.g. telecommunications product part, we write "The gain shall be adjustable
up to a minimum of 20 dB. For incremental volume control, at least one
intermediate step of 12 dB of gain shall be provided."
