Integrated Rear Lights Specification Example for Emergency Vehicles: Long Life Version
Integrated Rear Lights Specification Example for Emergency Vehicles: Long Life Version
This is a worked specification for integrated rear lights 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 emergency vehicles 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.

- shot blasting
- robot welding
- ultrasonic cleaning
Where this example applies
Programmes that run long life version most often specify this build for emergency vehicles. Related applications include boat trailers, delivery vans, trailer axles, rental motorcycles, scooter 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
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 200 pieces per line.
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.
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 14 working days, and each revision round adds about 5 days once you have seen the first piece.
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.
Share a sample or a drawing and we will quote against a written specification, not against a photograph.
