SMT Corp announces ANAB scope expansion for accredited AS6171 High Risk Level 2 testing
SMT Corp, the industry leader in counterfeit electronic components mitigation, a Certify Holdings Company, announced the expansion of its counterfeit electronics detection capabilities and its AS6171 accreditation scope. Richard Hodgson, CEO of SMT Corp, commented that “our investment in this additional capability highlights our 25+ year commitment to remaining the industry leader in counterfeit and non-conforming electronic component mitigation and detection. This increased scope gives us the ability to offer our customers the highest level of counterfeit detection including testing up to AS6171 High Risk Level 2 (HRL2).” In addition to being only one of two companies in the world accredited by the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) to provide HRL2 level testing, SMT is also on the DLA QTSL for testing un-traceable product, making SMT Corp the most highly accredited company for counterfeit electronic component detection.
The new capabilities SMT is now accredited for include: AS6171/9 – FTIR Spectroscopy, AS6171/8 – RAMAN Spectroscopy, AS6171/4 – Bond Pull / Die Shear, Particle Impact Noise Detection, AS6171/5 – 3D Radiographic Inspection, AS6171/7 – Temp Cycling, AS6171/7 – Burn In, AS6171/7 – Fine & Gross Leak, and Functional testing. Jason Romano, Chief Investigator and Counterfeit Electronics Subject Matter Expert at SMT Corp observed that “these additional capabilities are critical given the increased threat of counterfeit clone electronic components. While traditional inspection and test methods are important for the detection of remarked parts, additional capabilities like spectroscopy and electrical testing over environmental extremes are critical for the detection of sophisticated clones.”
