Reporting and information sharing are crucial because they allow for rapid dissemination of counterfeit part information across the industry, enabling other organizations to take preventive measures and contributing to a collective defense against counterfeit components.
The checklist covers areas such as internal reporting procedures, external reporting to relevant authorities and industry bodies, information sharing protocols, data protection measures, and participation in industry-wide counterfeit alert systems.
The primary responsibility typically lies with quality assurance managers and compliance officers, but it should also involve supply chain managers, legal departments, and senior management to ensure proper authorization and protection of sensitive information.
The checklist recommends immediate internal reporting of suspected counterfeit parts, with external reporting to relevant authorities and industry bodies within a specified timeframe, typically within 60 days of discovery, as per common industry practices.
This checklist includes items for implementing secure communication channels, establishing non-disclosure agreements with information recipients, and following data protection regulations to ensure that sensitive business information is protected while sharing critical counterfeit part data.
