Implementation of SAE AS6081-Counterfeit Electronic Parts for Distributors
I.D. # C1135 Duration 2 Days

Through the years there has been a significant and increasing volume of fraudulent and counterfeit electronic parts entering the aerospace supply chain. Left undetected, these parts can pose significant performance, reliability, and safety risks. In response to these threats, the SAE AS6081 Counterfeit Electronic Parts Avoidance ¿ Distributors standard was developed to provide uniform requirements, practices, and methods to mitigate the risk of electronics distributors purchasing and supplying these counterfeit electronic parts throughout the aerospace supply chain.

This two-day seminar will begin with background information on the proliferation of counterfeit electronics and the development of a consensus standard for the procurement, detection, reporting, and disposition of these parts. The instructor will then guide participants through a comprehensive overview of the requirements of AS6081, including detailed information on the certification scheme and implementation strategies. The information presented in this seminar will assist participants and their organizations in establishing and maintaining a counterfeit electronic parts avoidance program that is in conformance with the requirements of the standard and also serves as an integral component of a comprehensive quality management system.

All attendees will receive a copy of SAE AS6081-Counterfeit Electronic Parts for Distributors.
Learning Objectives

By attending this training program you will be able to:

  • Summarize the impact and pervasiveness of counterfeit electronic components in the supply chain
  • Identify the requirements of AS6081
  • Explain the process for certification to the AS6081 standard
  • Incorporate AS6081 into an existing quality management system
  • Identify the various counterfeit detection test methods included in AS6081
  • Develop a plan for implementation of an AS6081 compliant quality system
Who Should Attend

This seminar is designed for electronics distribution personnel involved with establishing and maintaining a Fraudulent/Counterfeit Electronic Parts Avoidance Program in conformance with the requirements of AS6081. Additionally, OEM, contract manufacturer, government agency, and other key industry personnel that want to know and understand the requirements of the standard, including flow-down and contracting requirements, will benefit from the information presented in this seminar.

Prerequisites

Prior knowledge and experience is not required. However an understanding of AS5553 - Counterfeit Electronic Parts; Avoidance, Detection, Mitigation, and Disposition would be beneficial.
