correct expression

[Hanka]

Hi,

could you please tell me which of these are correct:

The purchaser shall send an email order stating the exact number and types/kinds/specification/designation of products.

Thanks a lot!

Without full context:

designation could mean coding of the items, in which case I would go for that.

types and kinds if there are products which vary in their nature, ie boots and sandals; printers and photocopiers.

The purchaser shall send an email order stating the exact number and types of products.

'type' would be 'hose' unless the client took it upon themselves to be more specific.
I think what is required is something more specific, like, hose, 3/4' nylon, twist-proof, green.
