Car Rear Lamps Specification Example for Municipal Fleets: Standard Replacement
Car Rear Lamps Specification Example for Municipal Fleets: Standard Replacement
This is a worked specification for car rear lamps 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 municipal fleets is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually a specification nobody had written down.

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
- rubber vulcanisation
- precision stamping
- ultrasonic cleaning
- robot welding
- cold forging
- injection moulding
Where this example applies
Programmes that run standard replacement most often specify this build for municipal fleets. Related applications include delivery vans, utility trailers, fleet maintenance, light trucks, aftermarket retail.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- 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
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 200 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 IATF 16949-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 testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. IATF 16949 documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
