Engine Starter System Specification Example for Assembly Programmes: Load Rated Version
Engine Starter System Specification Example for Assembly Programmes: Load Rated Version
This is a worked specification for engine starter system in a load rated 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 load rated version 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 a supplier who changed material without saying so.

How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Brass, 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
- rubber vulcanisation
- ultrasonic cleaning
- CNC machining
- electroplating
- powder coating
- laser cutting
Where this example applies
Programmes that run load rated version most often specify this build for assembly programmes. Related applications include racing teams, off-road bikes, trailer axles, delivery vans, assembly programmes.
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
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 7 working days, and each revision round adds about 3 days once you have seen the first piece.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 200 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the CCC-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
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.
Share a sample or a drawing and we will quote against a written specification, not against a photograph.
