Description / Abstract: Purpose.

This standard is a General Motors Global Document. All requirements herein shall be adhered to as GM Global Requirements for the Assist Handle Assembly except where noted for specific GM programs.

This standard establishes performance requirements, design constraints, and validation requirements for an Assist Handle Assembly. The requirements contained in this document only apply to parts released under this version of requirements when included in supplier Statement of Requirements (SOR).

The Analysis/Development/Validation (ADV) plan shall be complete per SOR Validation Appendix G2 requirements and any new standards/Component Technical Specification (CTS) updates at Integration Vehicle Material Required Date (IV/MRD) included in the Design Review Based on Failure Modes (DRBFM) and/or peer reviews, with validation considerations considered in that process, and effected via Engineering Work Order (EWO) for program specific standard updating. The program team shall contact Global Technology Engineering (GTE) to ensure the latest standard templates are being used.

Applicability.

The main purpose of the Assist Handle Assembly is to provide a decorative, functional trim component to the Overhead System. The Assist Handle Assembly also provides packaging provisions for coat hooks and lighting when required.
