Quality requirements are explicit requirements, excluding implied requirements.

The exact extract says: “Quality requirements are explicit requirements, excluding implied requirements.” The correct answer is False. In quality management, a requirement is not limited only to what is explicitly written in a contract, specification, or checklist. Requirements also include needs or expectations that are generally implied, customary, obligatory, regulatory, or necessary for intended use. ISO 9000 terminology defines a requirement as a need or expectation that is stated, generally implied, or obligatory. Therefore, quality requirements include explicit requirements and implied requirements. For example, a customer may not explicitly state that equipment should be safe, reliable, and compliant with local electrical standards, but those expectations are still quality requirements. Excluding implied requirements would create a narrow and unsafe quality-management approach. In Huawei Smart PV project and partner quality management, SQA must consider explicit technical requirements and implied quality expectations tied to safety, reliability, and customer acceptance.
