Standardization ensures common solutions for recurring situations, boosting efficiency, quality, and economies of scale. The Corporate Standards department at Volvo develops, publishes, and distributes these standards, which are legally binding in contracts with suppliers. The department also manages standard parts documentation and coordinates Volvo's external standardization efforts.
Volvo Group standards are now stored in the Volvo Group Supplier Portal, see the links below. If you don´t have access, please contact your Volvo Group supplier host and they will support you further.
If you are a tier 2 or 3 supplier, please contact the tier 1 supplier to get the relevant information.
