data sheets
Explanation:
I've obviously looked at these questions the wrong way round. I had agreed with Ségolène's "specifications" for these, then saw your "cahiers de préscriptions", which I would certainly call "technical specifications". On that basis, I would call these "data sheets" in the absence of a more concrete description of what they actually refer to.
