WARRENDALE, PA – The Counterfeit Avoidance Accreditation Program (CAAP) has released a new checklist as part of the ongoing aerospace industry activity to address and disrupt the presence of counterfeit parts.

AC7403 – Audit Criteria for Accreditation to AS6496 is focused on authorized distributors of electronic, electrical and electromechanical parts.

Based on AS6496, the AC7403 checklist was developed by the CAAP Distributors Task Group, including representatives from Boeing, DCMA, GE, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and UTC.

AC7403 was created in response to aerospace industry demand and joins AC7402 – Audit Criteria for Accreditation to AS6081 in the potential audit scope available to distributors seeking CAAP accreditation.

The first audit to AC7403 has already been scheduled and will take place at Mouser Electronics of Mansfield, TX, in August.
