(Main)Process management for avionics - Counterfeit prevention - Part 1: Avoiding the use of counterfeit, fraudulent and recycled electronic components
Process management for avionics - Counterfeit prevention - Part 1: Avoiding the use of counterfeit, fraudulent and recycled electronic components
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.
Gestion des processus pour l'avionique - Prévention de la contrefaçon - Partie 1: Prévention de l'utilisation de composants électroniques contrefaits, frauduleux et recyclés
l'IEC 62668-1:2019 définit les exigences permettant d'éviter l'utilisation de composants contrefaits, recyclés et frauduleux dans le secteur de l'aérospatial, de la défense et des hautes performances (ADHP). Elle définit également les exigences permettant de maintenir la propriété intellectuelle de tous les produits et services utilisés dans ce même secteur. Les risques associés à l'achat de composants en dehors des réseaux de distributeurs franchisés sont pris en compte dans l'IEC 62668-2. Bien que développé pour l'industrie avionique, le présent document peut être appliqué par d'autres secteurs à hautes performances et à haute fiabilité s’ils le souhaitent.
Cette première édition annule et remplace la troisième édition de l'IEC TS 62668-1 parue en 2016. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
a) ajout d'une référence à l'AS/EN/JISQ 9100 et l'AS/EN/JISQ 9110, qui contiennent les exigences de prévention de la contrefaçon
b) ajout d'une référence à la règle 252.246.7008 de la DFAR (Etats-Unis) et à la Defence Standard 05-135 (Royaume-Uni);
c) ajout d'une référence à plusieurs rapports du GAO, de l'OCDE et de la CCI;
d) mise à jour de liens Internet et d'autres références;
e) ajout de la nouvelle Annexe E contenant des figures représentant la manière dont les documents de prévention de la contrefaçon peuvent être utilisés dans les chaînes d'approvisionnement;
f) ajout d'une référence au nouvel audit de traçabilité OD 3702 de l'IECQ;
g) ajout d'une nouvelle définition pour les composants refabriqués avec un avertissement précisant que ces composants ne sont pas recommandés.
