Electronic Ignition System Specification Example for Long-Haul Trucks: Long Life Version
Electronic Ignition System Specification Example for Long-Haul Trucks: Long Life Version
This is a worked specification for electronic ignition system in a long life 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 long life version version exists because the duty cycle on long-haul trucks is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually reorders that did not match the approved sample.
Example specification
| Item | Electronic Ignition System |
|---|---|
| Application | Long-Haul Trucks |
| Version | Long Life Version |
| Base material | Polypropylene |
| Controlled dimensions | 3 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.1 mm |
| Finish | as machined |
| MOQ | 500 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 14 working days, 3 days per revision |
| Compliance | CCC |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Polypropylene, 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
- die casting
- anodising
- CNC machining
- shot blasting
- gravity casting
- precision stamping
Where this example applies
Programmes that run long life version most often specify this build for long-haul trucks. Related applications include export programmes, aftermarket retail, racing teams, passenger cars, workshop replacements.
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
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 500 pieces per line.
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.
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 14 working days, and each revision round adds about 3 days once you have seen the first piece.
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.
Tell us the model, the fitment and the quantity and we will hold a production slot for you.
