Universal Roof Rack Specification Example for Camper Conversions: Sealed Unit
Universal Roof Rack Specification Example for Camper Conversions: Sealed Unit
This is a worked specification for universal roof rack in a sealed unit 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 sealed unit version exists because the duty cycle on camper conversions is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually lead time that slipped twice before bulk started.
Example specification

| Compliance | SGS |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Magnesium Alloy, 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
- shot blasting
- robot welding
- surface grinding
- injection moulding
- gravity casting
- electroplating
Where this example applies
Programmes that run sealed unit most often specify this build for camper conversions. Related applications include city buses, scooter fleets, camper conversions, workshop replacements, 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 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 3 days once you have seen the first piece.
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.
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.
Tell us the model, the fitment and the quantity and we will hold a production slot for you.
