International standards body JEDEC has published JESD243, which addresses manufacturers’ responsibilities in the fight against counterfeit electronic parts.According to the body, JESD243 – which applies to monolithic microcircuits, hybrid microcircuits and discrete semiconductors – identifies the best commercial practices that should be adopted by all manufacturers of electronic parts to avoid counterfeit products entering the supply chain.In a wide ranging definition, JEDEC says a manufacturer of parts is an original component manufacturer, an authorised aftermarket manufacturer or any other company that manufactures products under its own logo name or trademark.
