Vehicle Fault Code Reader Specification Example for Delivery Vans: Adjustable Type
Vehicle Fault Code Reader Specification Example for Delivery Vans: Adjustable Type
This is a worked specification for vehicle fault code reader in a adjustable 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 adjustable type 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 | Vehicle Fault Code Reader |
|---|---|
| Application | Delivery Vans |
| Version | Adjustable Type |
| Base material | Aluminium Alloy |
| Controlled dimensions | 4 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.2 mm |
| Finish | anodised |
| MOQ | 2,000 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 10 working days, 3 days per revision |
| Compliance | TUV |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Aluminium Alloy, 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
- shot blasting
- sintering
- gravity casting
- heat treatment
- ultrasonic cleaning
Where this example applies
Programmes that run adjustable type most often specify this build for delivery vans. Related applications include racing teams, city buses, long-haul trucks, light trucks, workshop replacements.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 2.5 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.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 2000 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. TUV 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.
