Automotive Indicator Light Specification Example for Passenger Cars: Racing Spec
Automotive Indicator Light Specification Example for Passenger Cars: Racing Spec
This is a worked specification for automotive indicator light in a racing spec 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 racing spec version exists because the duty cycle on passenger cars 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.
Example specification
| Item | Automotive Indicator Light |
|---|---|
| Application | Passenger Cars |
| Version | Racing Spec |
| Base material | Silicone |
| Controlled dimensions | 6 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.05 mm |
| Finish | painted |
| MOQ | 3,000 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 14 working days, 5 days per revision |
| Compliance | E-mark |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Silicone, 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
- assembly line testing
- precision stamping
- CNC machining
- cold forging
- ultrasonic cleaning
- powder coating
Where this example applies
Programmes that run racing spec most often specify this build for passenger cars. Related applications include three-wheelers, rental motorcycles, assembly programmes, fleet maintenance, boat trailers.
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
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.
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the E-mark-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
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. E-mark documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
Send the part number, the annual volume and the target market, and we will come back with a specification and a sampling plan.
