The counterfeit part mitigation and control plans reached a milestone in 2016 with release of the long-awaited test standard AS 6171. The year also saw release of an updated version of “Counterfeit Electrical, Electronic, and Electromechanical (EEE) Parts; Avoidance, Detection, Mitigation, and Disposition” and its accompanying aerospace recommended practices. This Webinar covers the salient elements of these published standards and the status of other related standards. In addition, the concerns on the future of counterfeit – including those of non-electronic systems, higher level assembly, tampered electronic components and systems and their relationship with the highly visible area of cyber-security. This coverage includes other sources of standards such as JEDEC and IPC and top-level analysis of reported counterfeit data.Description
