Counterfeit Part Verification

Aerospace AS5553D & AS6081 Standards

Counterfeit (EEE) Part Avoidance, Detection, Mitigation and Disposition

Century is committed to preventing the receipt of counterfeit material and has a history of customer compliance through comprehensive quality assurance processes.

As part of this commitment, we follow strict quality requirements per the Aerospace AS5553D & AS6081 Standards and utilize a checklist to monitor the process.

• Parts must be from the original equipment manufacturer or a franchised distributor.
• Parts must be in the original manufacturer’s packaging with lot traceability to the certification supplied with the material.
• If parts have sealed packaging they are not removed for detailed part inspection.
• If parts are not in sealed packaging a visual inspection is performed using 3X magnification to check for any relabeling or part alterations.

In addition, Century uses some of the best testing equipment on the market.
