For example, the quality level for a safety-critical part might be specified as , meaning a failure of this component could lead to a major accident. The drawing's title block also contains crucial information such as the part number (e.g., 12200-GFCA-0000), revision history , and often a reference to the specific HES H 037 standard, which dictates the exact format of the title block and the rules for processing design changes (seih-en) .
Some common sections found in Honda Engineering Standards include:
Perform necessary tests, often requiring specialized lab certifications (e.g., A2LA).
The complete Honda Engineering Standard catalog is vast, covering thousands of distinct documents categorized by specific technical domains. When looking through an HES PDF directory, engineers typically encounter the following core classifications: 1. Material Standards (HES D)
Fatigue testing protocols for suspension parts, steering columns, and engine brackets.
Similar to other automotive giants (such as Toyota's TMS or Ford's WSS), Honda created the HES to bridge the gap between regional standards (like ASTM, ISO, or JIS) and the specific performance demands of Honda vehicles. The Core Objectives of HES
Chemical composition and physical properties of metals, plastics, and coatings.
