Q34 Counterfeit Electronic Parts Prevention

Supplier or Seller and its Supplier shall implement appropriate controls to ensure product origin and conformance to ATK requirements, specifications and related engineering drawings to ensure that procurement of parts are only from Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), or QPL source or an authorized franchised distributor of the manufacturer. In the event EEE parts must be procured from a Broker or a non franchised distributor or non QPL source or a supplier other than the OEM where the original product certification is not available, the Seller or its supplier may purchase parts from these sources only upon written approval from the Buyer. EEE parts authorized by the buyer to be purchased from a Broker or non-franchised distributor or non QPL source where OEM verification cannot be obtained, must have lot acceptance testing performed as specified on the device data sheet or if applicable the ATK drawing, by an independent third party. The parts testing as a minimum must be subjected to a DPA analysis and electrical testing and sampling that meet the original manufacture’s specification sheet. This analysis must be performed for each date lot code within each lot of parts purchased.

Sample size: As specified on the OEM’s device data sheet. If no sample size is specified on the OEM data sheet, sample size shall be 116/0. That is, a sample size of 116 shall be randomly selected from each lot/date code and submitted to the specified testing.

If the lot size is less than the required sample size (116/0) each and every device in the lot shall be tested and identified. All failed devices shall be removed from lot.

If any device in the sample fails any parameter in the lot acceptance testing each and every additional device in the lot shall be tested on the same test set up for all parameters in the test, and all failed devices shall be removed from the lot. If this testing results in a percent defective greater than 5 percent, the results shall be submitted to the ATK Buyer for lot disposition prior to the use of any devices in the lot.

The procedures defined in this QAP are in no way to be interpreted as relieving the Supplier/Seller from the responsibility of meeting all contractual/purchase order requirements.

Q35 Tin Whisker Mitigation No equipment shall contain hardware or components consisting of pure tin, tin alloy materials, finishes and lead-free, in internal or external components of electrical, electronics, and electromechanical EEE parts. This includes any parts classified as RoHS compliant. Such condition is prohibited, unless authorized by ATK DES Supply Chain. If the hardware contains more than 97% tin in the finish plating, leads, or terminals, the finish plating shall be replaced by one or more mitigation techniques identified in GEIA-STD-0005-2 and GEIA-STD-0006, shall be used for each use of Pb-free tin. Each Shipment of material(s) and/or assemblies shall include a certification of conformance to ATK Plan 7554036 regardless of any waiver(s) granted. The certificate of conformance assures compliance with Material Finish Testing Requirements (Para 3.4.1), Hot Solder Dipping (Para 3.4.2), and conformance with ATK (and if required, Government) approved Mitigation Plans (Para 3.4.3). Documented proof of, but not limited to, material finish associated testing, processing, mitigation plans, and approvals shall be maintained by the subcontractor/supplier for a period of not less than 7 years. The seller shall notify DES SCM prior to any change by the seller or its sub-tiers that would result in products specified in the respective PO becoming non-compliant to these requirements.
