I am reviewing some new standards to help with our reliability of our test systems. While we are not flight hardware we do have requirements for a reliable system. Currently we do not have a good system to remove counterfeit parts from our supply chains. Previously I have used ANSI 540, and ISO 17025 but not really sure what we got for our money besides a charge.
Which drives me to investigate the following two standards:
AS6081: applies to independent distributors/brokers, transactions conducted by a manufacturer-authorized distributor distributing product within the terms of a distribution agreement.
AS6496: requires authorized distributors to, Have a counterfeit mitigation policy; Have a counterfeit electronic parts control plan; and Sets forth certain customer-related processes.
So as an end user/implementor what do I get besides a greater charge for requiring a distributor such as Newark to comply to the two standards above.
