General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories
ISO/IEC 17025:2005 specifies the general requirements for the competence to carry out tests and/or calibrations, including sampling. It covers testing and calibration performed using standard methods, non-standard methods, and laboratory-developed methods.
SAE G19 Counterfeit Electronic Parts Committee
G19 Scope:
The G-19 Counterfeit Electronic Components Committee is chartered to address aspects of preventing, detecting, responding to and counteracting the threat of counterfeit electronic components.
G19 Objective:
The objective of the SAE G-19 committee is to develop standards suitable for use in aeronautic, space, defense, civil and commercial electronic equipment applications to mitigate the risks of counterfeit electronic components. In this regard, the standard will document recognized best practices in component management, supplier management, procurement, inspection, test/evaluation methods and response strategies when suspect or confirmed counterfeit components are detected.
SAE G21 Counterfeit Materiel Committee
G21 Scope:
The G-21 Counterfeit Materiel Committee is chartered to address aspects of preventing, detecting, responding to and counteracting the threat of counterfeit materiel.
G21 Objective:
The objective of the SAE G-21 committee is to develop standards suitable for use in high performance/high reliability applications to mitigate the risks of counterfeit materiel. In this regard, the standard will document recognized best practices in materiel management, supplier management, procurement, inspection, test/evaluation methods and response strategies when suspect or confirmed counterfeit materiel is detected.
