Car Audio System Specification Example for Export Programmes: Low Maintenance Version
Car Audio System Specification Example for Export Programmes: Low Maintenance Version
This is a worked specification for car audio system in a low maintenance 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 low maintenance version version exists because the duty cycle on export programmes 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 | Car Audio System |
|---|---|
| Application | Export Programmes |
| Version | Low Maintenance Version |
| Base material | Forged Aluminium |
| Controlled dimensions | 5 key dimensions, recorded per lot |

| Finish | as machined |
| MOQ | 1,000 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 10 working days, 5 days per revision |
| Compliance | ECE R90 |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Forged 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
- CNC machining
- injection moulding
- ultrasonic cleaning
- rubber vulcanisation
- gravity casting
- laser cutting
Where this example applies
Programmes that run low maintenance version most often specify this build for export programmes. Related applications include delivery vans, camper conversions, city buses, courier fleets, racing teams.
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
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the ECE R90-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
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 is packing specified?
Individual packing, inner box quantity and carton marking are confirmed at quotation stage so the cartons arrive ready for your warehouse.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 1000 pieces per line.
Send the specification you are working to and we will confirm what we can match, what we would change and why.
