Honest Components recently traveled to Asia and the U.K. to meet with our valued suppliers and #1 trusted laboratory, Global ETS (GETS) Labs. Our supplier collaboration allows us to improve our business performance, customer satisfaction and reduce costs, while at the same time enhancing positive relationships with supply chain partners.
We bear the cost of testing every order at Global ETS, an independent, 3rd party, ISO17025/AS6081 certified, military/aerospace lab.You may have come across distributors with their own test lab claiming that their capabilities are reliable enough to avoid counterfeit material to pass through. They may also be ISO9001 and AS9120 certified which adds to the assuredness that their counterfeit mitigation is in place and followed through.
You need to make sure they are not just capable but are CERTIFIED to AS6081 test methods including FUNCTIONAL ELECTRICAL TESTING. To address this conflict of interest, there is only one ethical option —independent 3rd party test labs. If your current distributor will not allow an independent 3rd party test lab to test the parts, BUYER BEWARE.
