OBD2 Diagnostic Device Specification Example for Emergency Vehicles: Waterproof Version
OBD2 Diagnostic Device Specification Example for Emergency Vehicles: Waterproof Version
This is a worked specification for obd2 diagnostic device in a waterproof 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 waterproof 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 specification nobody had written down.

Example specification
| Item | OBD2 Diagnostic Device |
|---|---|
| Application | Emergency Vehicles |
| Version | Waterproof Version |
| Base material | Kevlar Composite |
| Controlled dimensions | 5 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.05 mm |
| Finish | zinc plated |
| MOQ | 200 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 7 working days, 5 days per revision |
| Compliance | SAE J431 |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Kevlar Composite, 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
- rubber vulcanisation
- precision stamping
- gravity casting
- sintering
- laser cutting
- die casting
Where this example applies
Programmes that run waterproof version most often specify this build for emergency vehicles. Related applications include boat trailers, courier fleets, camper conversions, off-road bikes, light trucks.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 1.5 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
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. SAE J431 documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the SAE J431-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
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.
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 7 working days, and each revision round adds about 5 days once you have seen the first piece.
Share a sample or a drawing and we will quote against a written specification, not against a photograph.
