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.

The purpose of this document is to provide detailed requirements to preclude the use of suspect counterfeit or counterfeit fasteners. The requirements of this document are intended to supplement the requirements of a higher-level quality standard (e.g., AS/EN/JISQ9100, ISO 9001, ANSI/ASQC E4, ASME NQA-1, AS9120, AS9003, and ISO/TS 16949 or equivalent) and other quality management system documents. Fasteners are defined as United States Federal Supply Classification Group codes as shown in the following list: This document applies to metallic and non-metallic components that mechanically attach two or more objects: fasteners, screws, bolts, rivets (blind, solid, tubular), inserts, washers, nuts, latching handles, clamps, pins, nails, retainers, etc. If locking or treatment elements such as glue, adhesives, anti-galling, lubricant, or other materials are part of the fastener specifications, then those items are within the scope of this document.

The verification matrix (VM) in this slash sheet is intended for use to establish compliance to AS6174A. This slash sheet is applicable to AS6174A. Nothing in this slash sheet, however, supersedes applicable laws and regulations, unless a specific exemption has been obtained through judicial/legal channels.

This SAE Standard standardizes requirements to: a. train personnel about their role in the organization's anti-counterfeit processes b. manage availability of authentic materiel, c. procure materiel from reliable sources, d. assure authenticity and conformance of procured materiel, including methods such as certification, traceability, testing and inspection appropriate to the commodity/item in question, e. control materiel identified as suspect counterfeit and counterfeit, f. report suspect counterfeit and counterfeit materiel, and g. perform self-assessments to assure effective performance of the organization's anti-counterfeit processes.

This SAE Standard standardizes practices to: a maximize availability of authentic materiel, b procure materiel from reliable sources, c assure authenticity and conformance of procured materiel, including methods such as certification, traceability, testing and inspection appropriate to the commodity/item in question, d control materiel identified as fraudulent/counterfeit, e and report suspect or confirmed fraudulent/counterfeit materiel to other potential users and Authority Having Jurisdiction.
