Fraudulent/Counterfeit Electronic Parts; Tool for Risk Assessment of Distributors
ARP6178
This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice is applicable for all organizations that procure electronic components from sources other than the original component manufacturer. It is especially applicable for assessing distributors that sell electronic components without contractual authorization from the original component manufacturer.
Rationale: ARP6178 was published in 2011. Industry knowledge, terminology and counterfeit avoidance processes have evolved since then and the ARP should be updated accordingly.
