Appearance Approval Report, AAR, is a standardized approach for an OEM to approve the visual characteristics of a part, or assembly of parts, produced by a supplier. It is one of 19 elements in the Production Part Approval Process, PPAP.
The Appearance Approval Portal is a collaboration platform between Scania and suppliers – designed to power Scania´s AAR-process. The portal contains all relevant information about part AAR status and surface quality.
AAR applies to all parts with an appearance master reference and/or a styling model. It is valid for all new or redesigned parts and when production parameters are changed (see PPAP).
