Electronic Stability Program Specification Example for Aftermarket Retail: Quick Fit Version
Electronic Stability Program Specification Example for Aftermarket Retail: Quick Fit Version
This is a worked specification for electronic stability program in a quick fit 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 quick fit version version exists because the duty cycle on aftermarket retail is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually lead time that slipped twice before bulk started.

Where this example applies
Programmes that run quick fit version most often specify this build for aftermarket retail. Related applications include emergency vehicles, light trucks, aftermarket retail, camper conversions, utility trailers.
Checks before packing

- AQL 4.0 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 long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 10 working days, and each revision round adds about 3 days once you have seen the first piece.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 500 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
Can you match an existing sample?
Send a sample and we will reverse-engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk starts.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 500 pieces per line.
Share a sample or a drawing and we will quote against a written specification, not against a photograph.
