Description / Abstract:
Introduction
Note: Nothing in this standard supercedes
applicable laws and regulations.
Note: In the event of conflict between the
English and domestic language, the English language shall take
precedence.
Purpose. The purpose of this specification is
to define simple, clear and concise meanings of Fit, Form, Function
and Interchangeability, in relationship to components, subsystems
and systems for both vehicle and powertrain groups.
Applicability. This standard applies to all
phases of vehicle and powertrain development, validation and
continuous improvement.
Remarks. The definitions for Fit, Form,
Function and Interchangeability are used to decide when a
component, subsystem or system part iteration requires a new part
number, to support breakpoint management and traceability of the
design change in production environment. Reference GMW15862.
