Hello. Could someone give a clear explanation and example of the difference between the Basis of Design and Design Criteria? Thank you very much! Saving Changes...

Design Basis includes information on the project and explains the specific functions of a system, client expectations, and why the systems were selected and designed.
The Design Criteria usually only include a list of expected design parameters that should be met (i.e. the explicit goals that a project must achieve in order to be successful).
In terms of examples, I will give you one related to construction:
Design Criteria: "The project must meet sustainability requirements and building code 2023".
Design Basis: "The client expects the project to contribute to a greener planet'.
