Onboard Diagnostic Tools Specification Example for Courier Fleets: Adjustable Type
Onboard Diagnostic Tools Specification Example for Courier Fleets: Adjustable Type
This is a worked specification for onboard diagnostic tools in a adjustable type programme. It is the document we would send a buyer who asks what exactly they are getting: the material, the dimensions that are actually controlled, the finish, and the checks that happen before anything is packed.
The adjustable type version exists because the duty cycle on courier fleets is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually packing that arrived crushed at the port.
Example specification
| Item | Onboard Diagnostic Tools |
|---|---|
| Application | Courier Fleets |
| Version | Adjustable Type |
| Base material | Silicone |
| Controlled dimensions | 5 key dimensions, recorded per lot |

| Finish | zinc plated |
| MOQ | 500 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 14 working days, 3 days per revision |
| Compliance | REACH |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Silicone, in this example.
- List the dimensions that are actually controlled and the tolerance on each.
- Name the finish and what it has to survive.
- State the inspection level and who pays when a lot fails.
Processes involved
- gravity casting
- precision stamping
- cold forging
- ultrasonic cleaning
- laser cutting
- anodising
Where this example applies
Programmes that run adjustable type most often specify this build for courier fleets. Related applications include workshop replacements, agricultural trailers, aftermarket retail, off-road bikes, fleet maintenance.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 4.0 sampling on the finished lot.
- Finish inspection under agreed lighting.
- Carton drop test on the first lot of a new packing specification.
Questions buyers ask
Can you match an existing sample?
Send a sample and we will reverse-engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk starts.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 500 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 500 pieces per line.
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. REACH documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
Tell us the model, the fitment and the quantity and we will hold a production slot for you.
