Air Shock Absorber Specification Example for Export Programmes: Off-Road Version
Air Shock Absorber Specification Example for Export Programmes: Off-Road Version
This is a worked specification for air shock absorber in a off-road 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 off-road version version exists because the duty cycle on export programmes is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually packing that arrived crushed at the port.

Where this example applies
Programmes that run off-road version most often specify this build for export programmes. Related applications include municipal fleets, assembly programmes, passenger cars, dealership service, fleet maintenance.
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 testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. IATF 16949 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.
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 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.
Tell us the model, the fitment and the quantity and we will hold a production slot for you.
