Integrated Bumper Specification Example for Aftermarket Retail: OEM Replacement
Integrated Bumper Specification Example for Aftermarket Retail: OEM Replacement
This is a worked specification for integrated bumper in a oem 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 oem replacement 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 documentation that arrived after the container shipped.
Example specification

How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Magnesium Alloy, 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
- injection moulding
- sintering
- powder coating
- heat treatment
- rubber vulcanisation
- electroplating
Where this example applies
Programmes that run oem replacement most often specify this build for aftermarket retail. Related applications include agricultural trailers, fleet maintenance, aftermarket retail, export programmes, light trucks.
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
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 200 pieces per line.
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. CCC documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
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.
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 7 working days, and each revision round adds about 3 days once you have seen the first piece.
Ask for the current catalogue and the specification sheet for this line.
