Automotive Door Panel Specification Example for Scooter Fleets: High Performance
Automotive Door Panel Specification Example for Scooter Fleets: High Performance
This is a worked specification for automotive door panel in a high performance 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 high performance version exists because the duty cycle on scooter 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 | Automotive Door Panel |
|---|---|
| Application | Scooter Fleets |
| Version | High Performance |
| Base material | Neoprene |
| Controlled dimensions | 3 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.05 mm |
| Finish | anodised |
| MOQ | 2,000 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 14 working days, 5 days per revision |
| Compliance | IATF 16949 |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Neoprene, 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
- sintering
- shot blasting
- electroplating
- injection moulding
- surface grinding
- cold forging
Where this example applies
Programmes that run high performance most often specify this build for scooter fleets. Related applications include racing teams, export programmes, workshop replacements, utility trailers, three-wheelers.
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 14 working days, and each revision round adds about 5 days once you have seen the first piece.
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. IATF 16949 documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
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.
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.
