Retronix Achieves AS6081:2012 Certification

We are proud to announce our recent achievement in getting the AS6081:2012 certification. As a leading provider of electronic component testing and reliability services this significant milestone underscores our commitment to excellence and it further strengthens our position in the industry.

What is the AS6081 standard?

The AS6081 is a widely recognized industry standard developed by SAE to mitigate the risk of counterfeit electronic parts in the supply chain. The standard provides guidelines and best practices to detect and avoid counterfeit parts, ensuring the authenticity and reliability of components used in aerospace, defense, and other high-reliability sectors.

Key aspects of AS6081 include:

  • Inspection and Testing Requirements: It outlines procedures for visual inspection, electrical testing, and material analysis to verify the authenticity of electronic components.
  • Supplier Management: Establish and maintain approved supplier lists and evaluate the credibility of their sources.
  • Traceability: The standard emphasizes maintaining traceability records.
  • Reporting: When counterfeit parts are detected, the standard requires reporting to the appropriate authorities.
  • Risk Mitigation Processes: AS6081 includes risk management processes that must be implemented to avoid counterfeit components entering the supply chain.

AS6081 is particularly critical in high-stakes industries where the failure of a single electronic component could have severe consequences, such as aerospace, defense, and medical devices. Learn more
