WG 3 - TC 107/WG 3

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.

IEC 62668-2:2019, defines requirements for avoiding the use of counterfeit, recycled and fraudulent components when these components are not purchased from the original component manufacturer (OCM) or are purchased from outside of franchised distributor networks for use in the aerospace, defence and high performance (ADHP) industries. This practice is used, as derogation, only when there are no reasonable or practical alternatives.
NOTE: Typically this document is used in conjunction with IEC 62239-1 and IEC 62668-1, enabling ADHP industries to manage and avoid the use of counterfeit, recycled and fraudulent components in their supply chains.
Although developed for the ADHP industry, this document can be used by other high-performance and high-reliability industries, at their discretion.
This first edition cancels and replaces the second edition of IEC TS 62668-2 published in 2016. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the second edition of IEC TS 62668-2:
a) updates to the risk assessment process, including reference to SAE AS6081;
b) updates to the test methods, including reference to the SAE AS6171 test methods published and in development;
c) updates in line with IEC 62668-1 for definitions and references to DFARS.

IEC TS 62668-2:2014(en) defines requirements for avoiding the use of counterfeit, recycled and fraudulent components when these components are purchased outside of franchised distributor networks for use in the aerospace, defence and high performance (ADHP) industries. This practice is used, as derogation, only when there are no reasonable or practical alternatives. Although developed for the ADHP industry, this document may be used by other high-performance and high-reliability industries, at their discretion.
This publication is to be read in conjunction with IEC TS 62239-1:2012 and IEC TS 62668-1:2014

IEC/TS 62668-1:2012(E) 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 will be considered in IEC/TS 62668-2 which is to be published in the near future. Although developed for the avionics industry, this specification may be applied by other high performance and high reliability industries at their discretion. Keywords: avionics, counterfeit, fraudulent.
