AS 6174/1 has just been issued to help you meet the requirements of the AS 6174 Anti-Counterfeit standard. The new 7-page slash sheet is titled Compliance Verification Matrix (VM) Slash Sheet for SAE AS6174A, Counterfeit Materiel; Assuring Acquisition of Authentic and Conforming Materiel. It is a tool to review and evaluate compliance with standardized verification criteria.
Compliance is reviewed using a Verification Matrix (VM). This tabular tool covers the various requirement clauses of AS 6174A. The matrix table contains the following columns:
- The AS 6174A clause number
- The 4.0 Verification Matrix requirement
- The criteria for compliance
- The recommended method of evalution (MOE)
- Your record of compliance
- A field for you to mark as yes or no
- A field for your notes
This is a valuable tool to use when setting up your process for material traceability.
The AS 6174A paved the way for the AS 6174/1 by authorizing the development of slash sheets. Expect more of them to be released for this important standard on the prevention of the inclusion of counterfeit materials into your products. Future slash sheets should focus on various commodities.
