ISO/IEC/IEEE 29148:2018 - Systems and Software Engineering - Requirements Engineering 5.2.5: 5.2.5 Characteristics of individual requirements

Every stakeholder, system and system element requirement possesses nine characteristics: necessary (an essential capability, characteristic, constraint or quality factor whose omission leaves a gap nothing else fills, still current, with any planned expiry or applicability date marked); appropriate (detail and intent suit the level of the entity, leaving architecture and design free where possible, with extra detail held in attributes such as rationale); unambiguous (one interpretation only, simply stated); complete (understood without further information); singular (one capability, characteristic, constraint or quality factor, although several conditions may apply); feasible (achievable within cost, schedule and technical limits at acceptable risk); verifiable (its realization can be proven to the customer at the level where it sits, helped by being measurable); correct (a faithful expression of the need it came from); and conforming (follows the approved template and style where one applies).
