PROCESS MANAGEMENT FOR AVIONICS –
COUNTERFEIT PREVENTION –
Part 1: Avoiding the use of counterfeit, fraudulent and

AMENDMENT 1
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) IEC [draws/draw] attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent rights in
respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, IEC had not received notice of (a) patent(s), which
may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent
the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at https://patents.iec.ch . IEC
shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Amendment 1 to IEC 62668-1:2019 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 107:
Process management for avionics.
The text of this Amendment is based on the following documents:
Draft Report on voting
107/416/FDIS 107/421/RVD

accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1 and ISO/IEC Directives, IEC Supplement, available
at www.iec.ch/members_experts/refdocs. The main document types developed by IEC are
described in greater detail at www.iec.ch/publications/.
The committee has decided that the contents of this document will remain unchanged until the
stability date indicated on the IEC website under webstore.iec.ch in the data related to the
specific document. At this date, the document will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn, or

4.12.13.1 General
Replace the text with the following:
The OEM shall have an anti-counterfeit, fraudulent and recycling plan in accordance with this
document (see 4.2 and in particular 4.2 c)).
The OEMs which do not have an SAE AS5553 plan shall meet the requirements specified
in 4.2 c).
The OEMs that have an SAE AS5553 anti-counterfeit plan for electronic components may
consider it in their IEC 62668-1 anti-counterfeit plans; Table 3 identifies the IEC 62668-1
requirements which can be satisfied or not by SAE AS5553D requirements.
SAE AS5553, currently at revision D, is a very comprehensive document targeted at the general
and high reliability industry (see Clause A.16 for further information).
SAE AS5553D has traceability requirements which can be different from IEC 62668-1
requirements (see Figure 2), leading Table 3 to not be satisfactory without additional steps. In
addition to the management of electronic components coming into a business, IEC 62668-1
also includes the management of an OEM’s IP of all the products sold out of the business,
including the management of spares (either sold as separate individual components or
assemblies) and repairs.

NOTE 1 SAE AS5553D defines "authorized sourced" as:
"AUTHORIZED SOURCE: Original component manufacturers and OCM-authorized sources of supply for an EEE
part (i.e., franchised distributors, authorized distributors), and authorized aftermarket manufacturers"

"EXCLUSIVE SUPPLIER: Supplier who provides EEE parts it obtains directly from Authorized Sources but the
Exclusive Supplier may not itself be authorized for those parts. "

A.16 SAE G-19
Replace, in the second paragraph, the first bullet point (about SAE AS5553) with the following:
• SAE AS5553D , Counterfeit Electrical, Electronic and Electromechanical (EEE) Parts;
Avoidance, Detection, Mitigation and Disposition
The scope is as follows:
This standard is for use by organisations that procure and integrate EEE parts. These
organisations may provide EEE parts that are not integrated into assemblies (e.g. pares
and/or repair EEE parts. Examples of such organisations include but are not limited to:
original equipment manufacturers; contract assembly manufacturers; maintenance, repair,
and overhaul organisations; value-added resellers; and suppliers that provide EEE parts or
assemblies as part of a service. The requirements of this standard are generic. These
requirements are intended to be applied) or flowed down as applicable) through the supply
chain to all organisations that procure EEE arts and/or systems, subsystems, or assemblies,
regardless of type, size and product provided. The mitigation of counterfeit EEE parts in this
standard is risk-based and these mitigation steps will vary depending on the criticality of the
application, desired performance and reliability of the equipment/hardware.
The requirements of this document are intended to be used in conjunction with a higher-
level quality standard (e.g. AS/EN/JISQ9100, ISO-9001, ANSI/ASQC E4, ASME NQA-1,
AS9120, AS9003 or equivalent) and other quality management systems documents. They
are not intended to stand alone, supersede or cancel requirements found in other quality
management system documents, requirements imposed by contracting authorities or
applicable laws and regulations unless an authorised exemption/variance has been
obtained. This document is not intended to make legal determination of fraud and
appropriate legal counsel should be consulted for further action.
Replace, in the second paragraph, the seventh bullet point (about SAE AIR6273) with the
following:
• SAE AIR6273 Terms, Definitions and Acronyms–Counterfeit Materiel or Electrical,
Electronic and Electromechanical Parts
The SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) provides standardized terms, definitions, and
acronyms that may be used in the G-19 and G-21 documents, unless otherwise specified in
those documents. The SAE International series of documents that address the mitigation of
suspect and counterfeit parts will reference this document in their respective Applicable
Documents sections.
This AIR is for use by organizations that procure and/or use materiel or EEE parts. The
terms and definitions of this AIR are intended to be used in conjunction with other G-19 and
G-21 standards.
Delete, in the second paragraph, the last bullet point (reference to SAE AS6462A).
