Car AC Compressor Specification Example for Fleet Maintenance: Folding Type
Car AC Compressor Specification Example for Fleet Maintenance: Folding Type
This is a worked specification for car ac compressor in a folding type 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 folding type 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 documentation that arrived after the container shipped.

Example specification
| Item | Car AC Compressor |
|---|---|
| Application | Fleet Maintenance |
| Version | Folding Type |
| Base material | Stainless Steel |
| Controlled dimensions | 4 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.05 mm |
| Finish | as machined |
| MOQ | 200 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 7 working days, 5 days per revision |
| Compliance | TUV |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Stainless Steel, 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
- surface grinding
- precision stamping
- robot welding
- CNC machining
- injection moulding
- anodising
Where this example applies
Programmes that run folding type most often specify this build for fleet maintenance. Related applications include city buses, utility trailers, light trucks, assembly programmes, agricultural trailers.
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
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the TUV-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. TUV documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
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.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 200 pieces per line.
Send the specification you are working to and we will confirm what we can match, what we would change and why.
