Why you should be certified?

• When an independent certification body audits your practices against the requirements of the standard – is not a requirement but is a way of showing stakeholders that you have implemented the standard properly.
• For some companies, third-party certification may be a requirement. For example, some governments or public bodies may only contract suppliers that have been certified. 

AS6081 – Aerospace – Fraudulent/Counterfeit Electronic Parts

A growing number of fraudulent/counterfeit electronic parts are entering the supply chain, especially when purchasing parts not from the Original Component Manufacturers (OCMs), or their authorized agents.
The AS6081 standard was created in response to a significant and increasing volume of fraudulent/counterfeit electronic parts entering the aerospace supply chain, posing significant performance, reliability, and safety risks.
The AS6081 standard establishes requirements and practices to mitigate the risk of buying, receiving and selling fraudulent/counterfeit parts therefore giving your customers confidence in their own supply chain. 
The standard builds upon your current AS9100 or AS9120 certification and brings in additional requirements to make your management system more robust.  When applying for AS6081 you do not need to have a separate audit to your current AS9100 or AS9120 certification assessment, our auditors are trained to perform integrated assessments reducing costs and time required.
