Snow Chains For Tires Specification Example for Racing Teams: Waterproof Version
Snow Chains For Tires Specification Example for Racing Teams: Waterproof Version
This is a worked specification for snow chains for tires in a waterproof 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 waterproof version version exists because the duty cycle on racing teams is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually inconsistent hardness between lots.

Where this example applies
Programmes that run waterproof version most often specify this build for racing teams. Related applications include agricultural trailers, construction equipment, city buses, assembly programmes, rental motorcycles.
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
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 500 pieces per line.
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 7 working days, and each revision round adds about 5 days once you have seen the first piece.
How is packing specified?
Individual packing, inner box quantity and carton marking are confirmed at quotation stage so the cartons arrive ready for your warehouse.
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.
