A "cut sheet," also known as a catalog sheet or product data sheet, is a document provided by a manufacturer that details the specifications, performance data, illustrations, and installation requirements for a specific component or product. The term originates from the practice of literally cutting the relevant page(s) from a manufacturer's printed catalog for inclusion in a project submittal package. This document is essential for designers, installers, and authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs) to verify that the proposed equipment complies with the project's design specifications and applicable codes and standards.

B. Data sheet: While often used interchangeably with "cut sheet," the term "cut sheet" more specifically implies an excerpt from a manufacturer's catalog, which directly aligns with the question's definition.

C. Errata sheet: An errata sheet is a document that lists and corrects errors discovered in a previously published document, such as a set of plans or a manual.

D. Calculation sheet: A calculation sheet is a formal record of engineering calculations, such as hydraulic calculations for a sprinkler system, and does not describe a manufacturer's component.

Chapter 62, "Commissioning Fire Protection Systems," Section 62.4.2, "Submittals," describes the submittal process which includes "manufacturer’s product data sheets (cut sheets)" to verify compliance with contract documents.

2. NFPA Fire Protection Handbook, 21st Edition. National Fire Protection Association, 2008. Volume 1, Section 6, Chapter 3, "Working Drawings and Specifications," discusses construction documents and the submittal of "product data," which includes "manufacturer's...catalog sheets...and illustrations" for review.

3. Oklahoma State University, School of Architecture. ARCH 4343: Professional Practice Courseware. The course materials on construction documentation define a "cut sheet" as a type of submittal that provides manufacturer's data for a specific piece of equipment, confirming its use in an academic context for engineering and architecture. (This is representative of standard university courseware on the subject).
