Automotive Door Panel Specification Example for Assembly Programmes: Two-Piece Construction
Automotive Door Panel Specification Example for Assembly Programmes: Two-Piece Construction
This is a worked specification for automotive door panel in a two-piece construction 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 two-piece construction version exists because the duty cycle on assembly programmes 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 | Automotive Door Panel |
|---|---|
| Application | Assembly Programmes |
| Version | Two-Piece Construction |
| Base material | Natural Rubber |
| Controlled dimensions | 4 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.2 mm |
| Finish | painted |
| MOQ | 200 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 7 working days, 5 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 — Natural Rubber, 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
- laser cutting
- sintering
- electroplating
- powder coating
- gravity casting
- precision stamping
Where this example applies
Programmes that run two-piece construction most often specify this build for assembly programmes. Related applications include boat trailers, dealership service, rental motorcycles, scooter fleets, racing teams.
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
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 200 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
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.
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. TUV documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
Share a sample or a drawing and we will quote against a written specification, not against a photograph.
