Stringent Protocols Leads to Higher Confidence

March 25, 2025

AS6081 certification is an internationally recognized standard dedicated to the prevention, detection, mitigation, and disposition of counterfeit electronic parts. This prestigious certification is held by fewer than 30 independent distributors worldwide, placing us among an elite group committed to protecting the global supply chain.

This certification reflects our unwavering commitment to quality, integrity, and reliability.

This means that every part we source undergoes stringent protocols designed to ensure the highest level of confidence for our customers.

  • When traceability is available, we meticulously verify and document it.
  • In cases where full traceability cannot be established, we take additional steps, including enhanced risk assessments and independent third-party testing, to guarantee part authenticity and security.

This accomplishment reinforces our promise to deliver only the highest-quality components to our customers.

We understand how critical reliable parts are to business operations, and we are proud to lead the industry by setting this standard.

AS6081 certification is more than a badge — it’s our promise to uphold the strictest procedures, provide exceptional service, and protect our customers from risk.
