Heat Rejection Tint Specification Example for Assembly Programmes: Drilled and Slotted
Heat Rejection Tint Specification Example for Assembly Programmes: Drilled and Slotted
This is a worked specification for heat rejection tint in a drilled and slotted 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 drilled and slotted version exists because the duty cycle on assembly programmes is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually lead time that slipped twice before bulk started.
Example specification
| Item | Heat Rejection Tint |
|---|---|
| Application | Assembly Programmes |
| Version | Drilled and Slotted |
| Base material | Nylon 66 |
| Controlled dimensions | 5 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.2 mm |
| Finish | zinc plated |
| MOQ | 200 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 10 working days, 3 days per revision |
| Compliance | DOT |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Nylon 66, 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
- injection moulding
- laser cutting
- ultrasonic cleaning
- CNC machining
- anodising
- electroplating
Where this example applies
Programmes that run drilled and slotted most often specify this build for assembly programmes. Related applications include boat trailers, assembly programmes, city buses, scooter fleets, off-road bikes.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 2.5 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
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 10 working days, and each revision round adds about 3 days once you have seen the first piece.
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. DOT documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the DOT-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
What happens if a lot fails inspection?
The lot is re-inspected against the golden sample, and replacement pieces ship on the next available booking at our cost.
Tell us the model, the fitment and the quantity and we will hold a production slot for you.
