Integrated Rear Lights Specification Example for Courier Fleets: Standard Replacement
Integrated Rear Lights Specification Example for Courier Fleets: Standard Replacement
This is a worked specification for integrated rear lights in a standard replacement 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 standard replacement 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 a specification nobody had written down.

- electroplating

- injection moulding
Where this example applies
Programmes that run standard replacement most often specify this build for courier fleets. Related applications include city buses, racing teams, rental motorcycles, scooter fleets, construction equipment.
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
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 500 pieces per line.
How is packing specified?
Individual packing, inner box quantity and carton marking are confirmed at quotation stage so the cartons arrive ready for your warehouse.
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. DOT 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.
Send the specification you are working to and we will confirm what we can match, what we would change and why.
