Air Auto Filter Specification Example for Emergency Vehicles: Fixed Type
Air Auto Filter Specification Example for Emergency Vehicles: Fixed Type
This is a worked specification for air auto filter in a fixed type 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 fixed type version exists because the duty cycle on emergency vehicles 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 | Air Auto Filter |
|---|---|
| Application | Emergency Vehicles |
| Version | Fixed Type |
| Base material | Zinc Plated Steel |
| Controlled dimensions | 6 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.1 mm |
| Finish | anodised |
| MOQ | 200 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 7 working days, 3 days per revision |
| Compliance | ISO 9001 |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Zinc Plated 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
- rubber vulcanisation
- heat treatment
- robot welding
- laser cutting
- shot blasting
- precision stamping
Where this example applies
Programmes that run fixed type most often specify this build for emergency vehicles. Related applications include agricultural trailers, dealership service, three-wheelers, construction equipment, utility trailers.
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 is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 200 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the ISO 9001-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 7 working days, and each revision round adds about 3 days once you have seen the first piece.
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. ISO 9001 documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
