\section{Summary}  In this memo we have explored the required timing resolution for pulsar timing observations with SKA1\_Mid and SKA1\_low. In summary we have done the following:  \begin{itemize}  \item Specified the maximum pulse-phase resolution and effective time resolution that must be supported.  \item Defined the term `effective time resolution'.  \item Specified the maximum DM that must be supported for coherent dedispersion as a function of time resolution.  \item Specified the maximum DM that must be supported for incoherent dedispersion as a function of time resolution.  \item Specified the maximum pulsar spin period that must be supported.  \end{itemize}  Adopting these requirements and definitions will lead to a considerable tighter specification of the SKA1 pulsar timing signal chain than is currently available.
