Electronic Stability Program Specification Example for Delivery Vans: Drilled and Slotted
Electronic Stability Program Specification Example for Delivery Vans: Drilled and Slotted
This is a worked specification for electronic stability program in a drilled and slotted 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 drilled and slotted version exists because the duty cycle on delivery vans 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
| Item | Electronic Stability Program |
|---|---|
| Application | Delivery Vans |
| Version | Drilled and Slotted |
| Base material | Sintered Metal |
| Controlled dimensions | 3 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.1 mm |
| Finish | anodised |
| MOQ | 1,000 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 7 working days, 5 days per revision |
| Compliance | ISO/TS 16949 |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Sintered Metal, 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
- CNC machining
- cold forging
- die casting
- ultrasonic cleaning
- anodising
Where this example applies
Programmes that run drilled and slotted most often specify this build for delivery vans. Related applications include assembly programmes, construction equipment, delivery vans, camper conversions, workshop replacements.
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.
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 testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. ISO/TS 16949 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 1000 pieces per line.
Share a sample or a drawing and we will quote against a written specification, not against a photograph.
