TS 62668-2-2014 Process management for avionics – Counterfeit prevention – Part 2: Managing electronic components from non-franchised sources (Edition 1.0)
"The avionics industry has a responsibility to ensure that all flight equipment produced has a predicted product life which correlates to the predicted repair and service life to ensure the public is not endangered. Typically an OEM calculates a mean time between failure (MTBF) and possibly a mean time to failure (MTTF) prediction. These calculations assume all components are new@ or considered as ""unused""@ at the point of introduction into flight use and that no useful component life and/or any ""unsafe"" component conditions have been used. This part of IEC 62668@ which is a technical specification@ 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 highperformance and high-reliability industries@ at their discretion."
