ECIA Publishes Update on AS6496A Five Year Review
ECIA’s Global Industry Practices Committee, (GIPC) has published an ECIA Update document based on the five-year review process conducted by SAE’s AS6496 Standard Committee. There have been changes to the standard, which is out for the final vote. The updated version, AS6496A, is expected to be available by the end of the year.
The Society of Aerospace Engineers’ (SAE’s) AS6496 is an anti-counterfeiting measure outlining requirements for mitigating counterfeit products in the authorized supply chain by distributors performing authorized distribution. SAE adopted this standard on August 20, 2014, with the official title of “Fraudulent/Counterfeit Electronic Parts: Avoidance, Detection, Mitigation and Disposition – Authorized/Franchised Distribution.”

Recruiting and Retaining Talent Focus Group Panelists Will be at the Conference!
This document reveals findings and best practices as a result of the focus groups conducted by the ECIA Industry Recruiting Committee.
In May and June of 2023, two focus groups were conducted by the ECIA (Electronic Components Industry Association) and the Association’s newly established Industry Recruiting Committee. The objective of this research was to gain insights into what motivates individuals to enter the electronic components industry and how to attract and retain talent in the industry.
The focus groups provided valuable information for the committee to collect research and inform members on recruitment tactics.
This research is available to members only!
We are looking forward to hearing from some of the focus group participants LIVE at the Executive Conference!
