Trying to understand a technical standard that I have to use but my skills are apparently too weak as I cannot grasp the meaning:
固有の特徴は，機能面の特徴又は品質面の特徴として分類することができる。
In the classification of functions/features to be either functional or quality-related but I am not sure whether that would be accurate.
Does simplifying it to the following help?
Ａは、Ｂ面のＡ、または、Ｃ面のＡとして分類する
固有の特徴は，機能面の特徴又は品質面の特徴として分類することができる。
Characteristic features can be divided in terms of function or quality.
That is, the inherent / unique properties of something can be divided / classified into groups based on whether those properties are something that the thing can perform (function), or with respect to quality (lack of defects etc?).
