1) Everyone who has benefited from the counterfeit and nonconforming parts database has done so because others chose to share reports of suspect devices. 2) There are two ways to report parts to the database - online or via email, and reports require part information, a description of issues, and supporting images. 3) Reporting future cases and sending all archived data helps make the database more useful, and reports can be anonymous without including company names unless chosen.

1. SHARE
Counterfeit and Nonconforming Part Data
Everyone who has ever benefitted from this database has done so
because someone chose to share their encounter with a suspect de-
vice by reporting the part data to ERAI.
We have made the process as simple as possible by offering two ways to re-
port parts:
1. Report a part online at: http://www.erai.com/SubmitHighRiskPart
2. Or even simpler, email your report to reportparts@erai.com
We require: 1) the part information, manufacturer, part number, date code, lot code; 2) A text
description of the non-conformance or findings and; 3) digital images that support the findings.
Ideally, you can send all archived data you have and make reporting future cases routine by including a
report to ERAI in your existing inspection process.
Please note that you can report parts anonymously. We will not include your company name on an alert. You
do not have to report the supplier that shipped you counterfeit devices unless you choose to. The major benefit
to the industry at large is knowing there is a suspect counterfeit part out there.
One of the most important tools we provide to our us-
ers is our High Risk & Counterfeit Parts database. This
database has helped untold numbers of companies
mitigate their risk of receiving counterfeit product by
making them aware of suspect counterfeits in the
marketplace. The data and images have trained vast
numbers of incoming inspectors, QA professionals,
component engineers, purchasing agents, production
workers and many other supply chain personnel.
