SAE AS6081 Counterfeit Electronic Parts; Avoidance Protocol, Distributors

sigh007

                   Product Code:SAE AS6081Title:Counterfeit Electronic Parts; Avoidance Protocol, DistributorsIssuing Committee:G-19d DistributorScope:  This proposed project is to develop a standard similar to AS5553, but will prescribe counterfeit parts avoidance requirements directly applicable to distributors. The intent of the document is to describe a program to establish and maintain certified distributors of electronic components whose regular use of anti-counterfeit process controls and requirements (in their purchasing and supplying operations) is designed to ensure delivery of authentic products that meet original component manufacturer specifications. It is intended that independent verification of conformance to this standard will be by third-party certification bodies (CBs). Accreditation of the CB will be through a recognized and respected accreditation body to ensure the impartiality and competence of the CB. The G-19 committee’s choice to establish third-party CBs to audit and certify the distributor will hopefully foster confidence and acceptance of the CB's certifications by end users in the public and private sectors.Rationale:  This proposed project is to develop a standard similar to AS5553, but will prescribe counterfeit parts avoidance requirements directly applicable to distributors.
