Counterfeit goods of all types have had a significant detrimental
effect on the UK economy for some time and could be costing £30bn and
14,800 jobs. The increasing volume of counterfeit electronic components
entering the UK is of particular concern to UK -based electronic
component and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). The consequences
of counterfeiting of electronic components are particularly pervasive
as electronic technology plays such an important part in so many areas
of our daily lives from the obvious mobile phones and laptops to the
less obvious such our cars, public transport systems and medical
equipment. Counterfeiting represents a threat to this technology as,
while we may be sure that the mobile phone or laptop we own is genuine,
the components inside may not be.
Increased levels of global trading and, in particular, the
increase in manufacturing operations in low cost regions such as
Asia and Eastern Europe, in part as a result of off-shoring from
relatively high cost regions, has enabled the proliferation of
counterfeit goods.
In the electronics industry in particular, the supply network
of OEMs has increased in complexity, in many cases spanning
multiple partners spread around the globe. Controlling the
activities of partners in this complex supply network, in a
market where there is constant competitive pressure to reduce
manufacturing costs, has become increasingly difficult. There is
anecdotal evidence, for example, of 'unofficial' production runs
of components that have taken place in original component
manufacturers' offshore facilities, which are then passed off in
the grey market.
The following list is drawn from several sources and
demonstrates, not only the wide range of components that are
known to be subject to counterfeiting, but also that the
counterfeiting of relatively low unit cost components is
considered to be profitable. Although, the majority of industry
activity appears to be focused on the counterfeiting of
semiconductors, other component types are also subject to
counterfeiting. Please note this is not a comprehensive list -
new component types, not listed here, are being added to the
counterfeiters' list on a regular basis:
The following list, adapted from a report on the Counterfeit
Components Symposium and Workshop, November 2006 by IGG and an
article entitled 'Dealing with the problems of piracy' by Adam
Fletcher of AFDEC in Component in Electronics, December 2007,
illustrates the range of counterfeiting activities and the
difficulties faced by component users in trying to detect
components that may be counterfeit, bearing in mind the large
number of different component types, different shipments and
different suppliers that even relatively small companies have to
deal with:
The following is a selection of useful articles, papers, presentations and publications on the issue of counterfeit components, in descending date
sequence (most recent first):
