Hi Brian, Go back and ask the customer what the requirement means. It is not unusual for contracts to be written by people who do not have experience in all matters pertaining to a specific contract. It appears that sometimes they pick-up a phrase that sounds good but they do not understand, or they have a "standard" package of requirements that go out to all vendors.
I once had a contract that insisted that the concrete mix used in an electronic controller that we produced met a prescribed British standard! It was obvious from discussions with the customer that the contract engineer would not remove this, and a few other irrelevant requirements, from the contract. So we signed the document confirming that the concrete mix in our product would meet these standards!
