Abstract:
The Counterfeit Avoidance Accreditation Program (CAAP)
has released a new checklist as part of the ongoing aerospace
industry activity to address and disrupt the presence of
counterfeit parts. AC7403 – Audit Criteria for Accreditation
to AS6496 is focused on authorized distributors of electronic,
electrical and electromechanical parts.
Based on AS6496, the AC7403 checklist was developed
by the CAAP Distributors Task Group, a group of experts
from industry including representatives from The Boeing
Company, DCMA, GE, Lockheed Martin, Northrop
Grumman and UTC. Aerospace distributors/suppliers TTI
Inc. and Mouser Electronics are also represented on the CAAP
Distributors Task Group and participated in the development
of the new checklist.
