Automotive Door Panel Specification Example for Dealership Service: High Performance
Automotive Door Panel Specification Example for Dealership Service: High Performance
This is a worked specification for automotive door panel in a high performance 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 high performance version exists because the duty cycle on dealership service is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually inconsistent hardness between lots.
Example specification
| Item | Automotive Door Panel |
|---|---|
| Application | Dealership Service |
| Version | High Performance |
| Base material | Bronze |
| Controlled dimensions | 5 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.5 mm |
| Finish | anodised |
| MOQ | 200 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 7 working days, 5 days per revision |
| Compliance | RoHS |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Bronze, 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
- robot welding
- powder coating
- cold forging
- assembly line testing
- CNC machining
- laser cutting
Where this example applies
Programmes that run high performance most often specify this build for dealership service. Related applications include long-haul trucks, rental motorcycles, racing teams, fleet maintenance, workshop replacements.
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
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the RoHS-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
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. RoHS documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 200 pieces per line.
Send the part number, the annual volume and the target market, and we will come back with a specification and a sampling plan.
