AS6081 Certified: Counterfeit Risk Mitigation in EMEA
Converge is proud to announce that our EMEA Global Warehouse Hub in Oude Meer, The Netherlands is now officially AS6081 certified. This achievement marks a significant milestone in our commitment to mitigating risk in the electronics supply chain against counterfeit components. It complements our existing AS6081 certification in North America at our Peabody, MA Global HQ Warehouse Facility.
What is AS6081 Certification?
AS6081 is an SAE aerospace quality standard that provides uniform requirements, practices, and methods to mitigate the risk of purchasing and supplying fraudulent/counterfeit electronic parts for distributors procuring high-reliability electronic components. The standard ensures robust protocols for the avoidance, detection, mitigation, and disposition of counterfeit parts, giving customers confidence in their supply chain.
Why It Matters
Counterfeit electronic components pose serious risks to performance, reliability, and safety, especially in high-rel industries like aerospace and defense. Key elements include:
- Counterfeit Mitigation Policy
- Control Plans for Counterfeit Electronic Parts
- Verification of Purchased Products
- Supply Chain Traceability
- Reporting and Control of Parts
- Personnel Training
By achieving AS6081 certification, Converge demonstrates its dedication to maintaining the highest standards in counterfeit risk mitigation, ensuring that customers receive reliable and authentic components.
