The term "'''form, fit and function'''", sometimes called F3 or FFF, in the [[manufacturing]] and [[technology]] industries is a description of an item's identifying characteristics. If the specifications, or [[:wikt:criteria|criteria]], for form, fit and function of a particular item are met, then the item may generally be considered interchangeable with other items with the same requirements.
