Rearview Mirror Camera Specification Example for Fleet Maintenance: Standard Replacement
Rearview Mirror Camera Specification Example for Fleet Maintenance: Standard Replacement
This is a worked specification for rearview mirror camera in a standard replacement 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 standard replacement 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 a supplier who changed material without saying so.

How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Anodised Aluminium, 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
- sintering
- anodising
- robot welding
- assembly line testing
- heat treatment
- electroplating
Where this example applies
Programmes that run standard replacement most often specify this build for fleet maintenance. Related applications include export programmes, aftermarket retail, assembly programmes, passenger cars, three-wheelers.
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
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. IATF 16949 documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 3000 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the IATF 16949-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 10 working days, and each revision round adds about 5 days once you have seen the first piece.
Send the specification you are working to and we will confirm what we can match, what we would change and why.
