ARA Interchange Committee Notes

Developed at the ARA Standard Guide to Used Parts - February 16, 2000

This standard is intended to promote commerce in used automotive parts and as a guide for interchange development. The Automotive Recycling Association's goal is to create a unified description of used parts, thereby promoting all forms of commerce in automotive recycling. This standard is designed for use across all electronic platforms and computer systems.

To reach this goal all parties selling, buying and installing used parts need the common language represented by this standard. Those developing products, services, interchange or evaluations containing used parts are encouraged to use the standard. The ARA has created this standard as an inclusive, cooperative effort between everyone interested in used automotive parts, interchange standards, and recycling.

For each used part assembly, this document gives a complete description of what is included with the assembly as delivered for reuse. In addition, there is a description of what is not included, but may be additionally available depending on how the source vehicle was optioned. There are comments and footnotes to clarify the reasons why the used part assembly is prepared for reuse in the way described.

Footnotes

1. As optioned means the part will be delivered with the options of the source vehicle. If the vehicle on which the part is to be installed has different options, these changes are the responsibility of the party having the work done.

2. On many part types the proper options installed on a particular vehicle may not be easy to determine. Manufactures routinely install parts which have significant variations without making a record of the change. In the case of mouldings variations with in single production run is not uncommon. Auto Recyclers may be able to closely match what is needed. In order for a Recycler to supply this service a detailed description of what is required must be supplied. The Recycler can only guarantee that the major assemblies will fit and work without this additional information.

3. Automatic selection of many optional parts is not possible with the limited information currently supplied by the automated systems. Work is underway to increase the flexibility of the systems now in use. Until there are improvements, those that are having the work done must be responsible for making additional information available to the Automobile Recycler.

4. Some parts, although they are attached to the part in question are sold as separate items. There are several conditions which cause this to be true. Some parts have too high of a demand as a separate item, which if included would raise the cost of the primary part above that established in the market. Other parts, if sold with the primary part will adversely affect the value of yet another item. Finally, some parts have so many options involved in their manufacture that including them on the primary part reduces that part's utility.
