Onboard Diagnostic Tools Specification Example for Three-Wheelers: Racing Spec
Onboard Diagnostic Tools Specification Example for Three-Wheelers: Racing Spec
This is a worked specification for onboard diagnostic tools 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 three-wheelers is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually premature wear on the first batch.
Example specification
| Item | Onboard Diagnostic Tools |
|---|---|
| Application | Three-Wheelers |
| Version | Racing Spec |
| Base material | Carbon Steel |
| Controlled dimensions | 3 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.5 mm |
| Finish | painted |
| MOQ | 1,000 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 10 working days, 5 days per revision |
| Compliance | REACH |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Carbon Steel, 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
- gravity casting
- shot blasting
- ultrasonic cleaning
- assembly line testing
- precision stamping
- anodising
Where this example applies
Programmes that run racing spec most often specify this build for three-wheelers. Related applications include construction equipment, delivery vans, utility trailers, long-haul trucks, rental motorcycles.
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
What happens if a lot fails inspection?
The lot is re-inspected against the golden sample, and replacement pieces ship on the next available booking at our cost.
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. REACH documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
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.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 1000 pieces per line.
Share a sample or a drawing and we will quote against a written specification, not against a photograph.
