Integrated Rear Lights Specification Example for Long-Haul Trucks: Low Maintenance Version
Integrated Rear Lights Specification Example for Long-Haul Trucks: Low Maintenance Version
This is a worked specification for integrated rear lights in a low maintenance 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 low maintenance version version exists because the duty cycle on long-haul trucks 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 | Integrated Rear Lights |
|---|---|
| Application | Long-Haul Trucks |
| Version | Low Maintenance Version |
| Base material | ABS Plastic |
| Controlled dimensions | 3 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.1 mm |
| Finish | as machined |
| MOQ | 500 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 14 working days, 5 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 — ABS Plastic, 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
- heat treatment
- die casting
- anodising
- injection moulding
- surface grinding
- assembly line testing
Where this example applies
Programmes that run low maintenance version most often specify this build for long-haul trucks. Related applications include agricultural trailers, assembly programmes, off-road bikes, delivery vans, courier fleets.
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
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 500 pieces per line.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 500 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
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 9001 documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
Send the specification you are working to and we will confirm what we can match, what we would change and why.
