, the exclusive publisher of the American Institute of Architects' MASTERSPEC, recently began licensing sections of its industry-leading project specification system to building product manufacturers, 3M was able to develop these specifications. PRODUCT MASTERSPEC enables licensees to modify sections from the MASTERSPEC libraries and distribute them to design professionals to simplify product research and preparation of project specification documents.

PRODUCT MASTERSPEC documents are seamless when used with the 100-200 other MASTERSPEC sections which typically appear in a project specifications manual. They give specifiers documents of the same high quality, worded and formatted the same way, and compatible with the electronic editing tools which come with MASTERSPEC.
