This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) is a tool that organizations may use to evaluate a non-authorized supplier’s processes for the prevention, detection, containment, adjudication, and reporting of suspect counterfeit and counterfeit EEE parts. See 3.1.1 and 3.1.2, which reference the use of AS6081 when performing pre-visit self-assessment and on-site assessment of non-authorized suppliers.

This ARP is applicable for all organizations that procure EEE parts from suppliers other than authorized sources (e.g., independent distributors).
