the basic requirement for comparison

[Parergon]

Reference points against which other things can be evaluated are the basic requirement for comparison.

Should I say of comparison? Or anything else?
I am not quite sure that "for comparison" is correct in this sentence.

Thanks

I would say that "for comparison" is correct in this context.

Yes, for comparison is correct but you need to make "requirements " plural to agree
with the subject "reference points".

I guess "requirement" may just as be acceptable for all reference points together may form just one single requirement.
