Purpose.

This standard describes the process requirements for chrome plated plastic parts, known throughout the rest of this specification as the “Process”. The purpose of these requirements is to ensure that the level of final finish and performance on chrome plated plastic parts meets or exceeds the level expected by the vehicle owner. This standard applies to finished parts produced by both GM Suppliers and internal GM facilities, known throughout the rest of this specification as the “Part Suppler”. Any deviations from this specification will need to be approved by a representative of the Part Supplier and GM’s Bill of Material (BOM) Family Owner (BFO), Global Process Leader (GPL), Materials Engineer (ME) using the Deviation Request Form in Appendix A.
