Counterfeit Materiel; Assuring Acquisition of Authentic and Conforming Materiel - Bearings AS6834

This document standardizes requirements for bearings: (a) supply chain management, procurement, inspection, parts management, and test/evaluation to assure the authenticity of bearings being acquired/used, and (b) response strategies when suspect or confirmed counterfeit bearings are discovered. Though developed primarily for critical application bearings, the document also may be applicable, at the discretion of the user, to other bearings with similar characteristics and applications. The bearings slash sheet is not intended to replace, conflict with, or duplicate requirements in quality system or AMS series material specs but rather to augment them with regards to counterfeit prevention and risk mitigation.
