Vehicle Fault Code Reader Specification Example for Trailer Axles: Lightweight Version
Vehicle Fault Code Reader Specification Example for Trailer Axles: Lightweight Version
This is a worked specification for vehicle fault code reader in a lightweight version 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 lightweight version version exists because the duty cycle on trailer axles is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually inconsistent hardness between lots.
Example specification
| Item | Vehicle Fault Code Reader |
|---|---|
| Application | Trailer Axles |
| Version | Lightweight Version |
| Base material | Anodised Aluminium |
| Controlled dimensions | 5 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.1 mm |
| Finish | as machined |
| MOQ | 2,000 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 10 working days, 5 days per revision |
| Compliance | SGS |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Anodised Aluminium, 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
- robot welding
- die casting
- CNC machining
- ultrasonic cleaning
- electroplating
Where this example applies
Programmes that run lightweight version most often specify this build for trailer axles. Related applications include passenger cars, light trucks, emergency vehicles, agricultural trailers, municipal fleets.
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.
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the SGS-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 10 working days, and each revision round adds about 5 days once you have seen the first piece.
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.
Share a sample or a drawing and we will quote against a written specification, not against a photograph.
