Counterfeit Parts and Conflict Minerals

By Dr David Scrimshire – MD of TEC Transnational
Counterfeiting has a long and ignoble history, ranging from art and literature to manufactured goods. Unlike other industries, counterfeiting in the aerospace, defence and automotive industries may have life or death consequences. Although it is clear that counterfeit parts do enter the industrial supply chain, the time and place of their entry is unpredictable. Managing this uncertainty has become more important due to the recent rise in the incidence of counterfeit reporting.
Most of us are aware of ‘blood diamonds’ (also called conflict diamonds) which are diamonds mined in a war zone and sold to finance an insurgency, an invading army’s war efforts, or a warlord’s activity! What may be less well-known are conflict minerals which share a similar pedigree and may inadvertently enter the supply chain. They include tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold (referred to as ‘3TG’). Recent legislative and regulatory initiatives by the OECD and EU seek to keep such ‘contaminated minerals’ out of the industrial supply chain by requiring organisations to prove that such minerals are either not
from conflict-affected areas or that their production and trade have not contributed to conflict financing and human rights abuses.
What are counterfeit parts?
A counterfeit part is any material/part/assembly that has been confirmed to be a copy, imitation, or substitute that has been represented, identified, or marked as genuine, and/or altered by a source without legal right with intent to mislead, deceive, or defraud. Examples of a counterfeit part can include, but are not limited to, the false identification of marking or labelling, grade, serial number, date code, documentation, or performance characteristics. Although most of the focus is on ‘EEE’ (Electrical, Electronic, and Electromechanical) parts, the principles and practices are applicable to other commodity types, including –
• raw materials• outsourced special processes• mechanical components• standard and COTs parts• IT and communications technology• in fact, all types of ‘matériel’ – i.e.
the aggregate of ‘things used’ or ‘needed’ by any organisation, for the production of its products – distinguished from personnel.
What are conflict minerals?
The minerals that pose the greatest threats are tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold, collectively known as ‘3TG’. For example, conflict minerals have for some years been, a particular problem in minerals sourced from conflict-affected areas of the eastern DRC (Democratic Republic of Congo).
Organisations can, knowingly or unknowingly, be affected by the risk of supply chain ‘contamination’ with these conflict minerals. This can occur, at a number of stages, whether mining or trading in the eastern provinces of DRC, in an adjoining country, or further along the chain.

More information and training
Counterfeit parts and conflict minerals pose a clear and present danger to organisations, their customer and the end user of products. To ensure that organisations are empowered to meet the challenge, TEC Transnational have developed a 2-day course which covers in detail everything that is needed to develop, document and implement the necessary processes to address counterfeit parts plus the legislation and regulations associated with conflict minerals (‘3TG’).
Autumn/Winter Newsletter 2019/20
Our next public courses
The next public courses with available places are scheduled for 20th – 21st Nov 2019 and 4th – 5th Feb 2020. The course can also be delivered on-site if this is preferable.
