規格

1. Origins, structure, and basic meaning

• Structure: 規格 is read きかく and denotes a standard or specification set for dimensions, format, performance, or similar features.
• Basic usage: Express conformity with 規格に合う and a difference from another model with 模型の規格と異なる.

2. Common pitfalls and similar expressions

• に marking the standard
  • In 指定された規格に合う, に marks the standard that the box meets. It does not mean that the box physically enters the specification.
• と marking the comparison
  • In 現在使う模型の規格と異なる, と identifies the specification used as the point of comparison.
• 規格 and 品質
  • 規格 is a defined standard such as size or format, while 品質(ひんしつ) is quality. Meeting a specification does not by itself mean that an item is high quality.
