Standard Supply Components Definition

Chapter: C17

In Simple Terms

Standard Supply Components are parts that the FIA (motorsport's governing body) requires all teams to use. These parts are made by an official supplier and every team gets exactly the same component at the same price and on the same terms—no advantages for any team.

  • All F1 teams must use identical parts supplied by an FIA-appointed manufacturer
  • The supplier provides components on identical technical specifications to ensure fairness
  • Commercial terms (price, payment conditions) are also identical for every team
  • This system prevents teams from gaining unfair advantages through parts procurement
Official FIA Text

Standard Supply Components (SSC) design and manufacture carried out by FIA-appointed supplier supplied identically and on identical technical and commercial basis to each F1 Team.
