SAE AS6081: Fraudulent/Counterfeit Electronic Parts: Avoidance, Detection, Mitigation, and Disposition – Distributors
What is AS6081?
Counterfeit electronic components have caused significant issues within the electronics industry, and because of this many standards have been developed to deal with these issues. SAE, via their G19 committee, has created the most widely accepted standards to mitigate counterfeit issues.
Organizations that are concerned with or required to mitigate the risk of counterfeits become AS5553 certified, which helps guide organizations on methods to avoid and detect counterfeits. A sister standard was also developed, AS6081. This standard was created for independent distributors to comply with an AS5553. Independent, third-party certification bodies will verify and certify an organization’s compliance to AS6081. Buy a copy of AS6081 from Accuris (formally Techstreet).
A sister standard, AS6081 was also developed for independent distributors to be compliant with an AS5553 compliant manufacturer’s requirements, thus these two standards are complimentary. Learn more about AS6081.
