AS6081 STANDARD FOCUSES ON DETECTION AND AVOIDANCE OF COUNTERFEIT ELECTRONICS
PARTS.

> The volume of counterfeit electronic parts entering into supply chains
> continues to pose challenges in many markets.



Acton, Massachusetts (PRWEB) November 10, 2014

National Quality Assurance, USA, Inc. (NQA, USA), a leading global provider of
quality and environmental management system registration services, announced
today their approval by the ANSI-ASQ National Accreditation Board (ANAB) to
certify organizations to AS6081.

The standard, “AS6081:2012 Fraudulent/Counterfeit Electronic Parts: Avoidance,
Detection, Mitigation, and Disposition – Distributors”, establishes requirements
and practices to mitigate the risk of buying, receiving, and selling
fraudulent/counterfeit parts. It standardizes requirements, practices, and
methods related to supplier management, procurement, inspection,
test/evaluation, as well as reporting of suspect or confirmed
fraudulent/counterfeit electronic parts.

The volume of suspect fraudulent/counterfeit electronic parts entering into
supply chains continues to increase and pose challenges in many markets,
including aviation, defense, and telecommunications. The Department of Defense,
NASA, FAA and other technology dependent markets have developed regulatory
requirements necessitating contractors to put more focus on pursuing solutions
related to the detection and avoidance of counterfeit electronic parts in their
supply chain.

NQA sought and obtained accreditation for the AS6081 standard in order to
support the numerous organizations implementing counterfeit part detection and
prevention programs. NQA's first audit to this standard was conducted at North
Shore Components, Inc., a distributor specializing in Counterfeit Detection and
Counterfeit Risk Mitigation in Bellport, NY. A two stage audit was conducted and
witnessed by ANAB, resulting in accreditation for NQA and certification for
North Shore Components. Due to high demand, NQA will have several auditors
qualified to audit organizations to AS6081 in the coming months.
