To provide the latest market intelligence on high-risk or counterfeit parts, Briocean QA Centre has consolidated a report comprising of the intercepted parts from the Tier 1 and Tier 2 inspections. This report covers the month of August 2023 and subsequent reports will be published monthly.

Tier 1 Inspection Intercepted Parts List

Tier 1 inspection refers to the first verification process of checking the labels and packaging by comparing the shipment labels with the original label in the Briocean label database.

This inspection process is effective and can intercept up to 90% of counterfeit parts.

Tier 2 Inspection Intercepted Parts List

Tier 2 inspection refers to visual and marking inspection using the LEICA microscope with a magnification of up to 160x. This helps to inspect the interior and exterior sides of the component on its dimensions, scratches, polishing, breakage, or oxidation on the BGA.

Visual & marking inspection is the most effective in intercepting counterfeit parts.
