Electronic Stability Program Specification Example for Courier Fleets: All-Weather Version
Electronic Stability Program Specification Example for Courier Fleets: All-Weather Version
This is a worked specification for electronic stability program 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 courier fleets 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.

How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Tempered Glass, 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
- gravity casting
- surface grinding
- rubber vulcanisation
- shot blasting
- cold forging
- laser cutting
Where this example applies
Programmes that run all-weather version most often specify this build for courier fleets. Related applications include light trucks, passenger cars, fleet maintenance, trailer axles, emergency vehicles.
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
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 3000 pieces per line.
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.
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.
Send the specification you are working to and we will confirm what we can match, what we would change and why.
