Term for "product specification"

Hi,

Since I am not a natural speaker of English, I am sometimes looking for a proper term.

50 +- 0,2 mm would be the "product specification" in the control plan.

Is there another term for it?
Examples: drawing dimension, drawing size, tolerance...

What would be another term to refer to the product specification?

Thanks,
Kira

For product specification, I would normally expect that to cover the whole product e.g. drawing (including dimensions), material, etc.

That is why I am looking for an alternative term. What would it be? It should be more specific and combine dimension and tolerance in one term.

Jim is correct.

50 is the drawing dimension. "Size" is a generic term for dimension.

+- 0,2 mm is the tolerance.

Both are specifications as listed in the American Heritage Dictionary: "Detailed, exact statements of particulars, especially a statement prescribing materials, dimensions, and quality of work for something to be built, installed, or manufactured."
