WG 3

Counterfeit electronic parts; avoidance, detection, mitigation, and disposition in avionics applications

Guidance for the development of a management plan to avoid the use of counterfeit electronic parts in avionic applications. The plan will maximize the use of authentic parts with correct traceability and conformance documentation. It will also provide the risk mitigation methodologies to assess supplied components and require the formal reporting of any counterfeit and non-conforming parts and materials identified. This plan may be applied to other applications
