Question

Can somebody explaint to me when I can use "meet specification" and "met specification"

Answer 1

"Meet" is present tense, and "met" is past. The article is missing, but this could be a headline format, in which no articles are used.

"Meet specification" sounds like a command or a plural subject ("the parts meet (the) specification"), and "met specification" sounds like a report that something (a mechanical part, etc.) has met a certain specification (condition, requirement, etc.).

Answer 2

Thank you James

Answer 3

there also exists the context that in contracting, if a building project meets spec(ification) it is up to code and passes inspection.
