IEC TS 62668-1:2012

IEC 62668-1:2019 defines requirements for avoiding the use of counterfeit, recycled and fraudulent components used in the aerospace, defence and high performance (ADHP) industries. It also defines requirements for ADHP industries to maintain their intellectual property (IP) for all of their products and services. The risks associated with purchasing components outside of franchised distributor networks are considered in IEC 62668-2. Although developed for the avionics industry, this document can be applied by other high performance and high reliability industries at their discretion. This first edition cancels and replaces the third edition of IEC TS 62668-1 published in 2016. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) added a reference to AS/EN/JISQ 9100 and AS/EN/JISQ 9110 which contain anti-counterfeit requirements b) added reference to USA DFAR rule 252.246.7008 and to UK Defence Standard 05-135; c) added reference to more GAO, OECD and ICC reports d) updated weblinks and other references; e) added new Annex E with figures describing how anti-counterfeit documents can be used in supply chains; f) added a reference to the new IECQ OD 3702 traceability audit; g) added new definition for re-manufactured components with a warning that these are not recommended.
