Integrated Rear Lights Specification Example for Fleet Maintenance: All-Weather Version
Integrated Rear Lights Specification Example for Fleet Maintenance: All-Weather Version
This is a worked specification for integrated rear lights in a all-weather 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 all-weather version version exists because the duty cycle on fleet maintenance is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually packing that arrived crushed at the port.
Example specification
| Item | Integrated Rear Lights |
|---|---|
| Application | Fleet Maintenance |
| Version | All-Weather Version |
| Base material | Cast Iron |
| Controlled dimensions | 6 key dimensions, recorded per lot |

| Finish | zinc plated |
| MOQ | 3,000 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 14 working days, 3 days per revision |
| Compliance | REACH |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Cast Iron, 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
- powder coating
- shot blasting
- anodising
- precision stamping
- surface grinding
- gravity casting
Where this example applies
Programmes that run all-weather version most often specify this build for fleet maintenance. Related applications include utility trailers, racing teams, assembly programmes, scooter fleets, camper conversions.
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 3000 pieces per line.
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. REACH documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
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 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.
