Suspect/Counterfeit Items Roundtable Discussion 2

Safety Topic Deaths From Fake Aircraft Parts in US History Between May 1973 and April 1996, the FAA identified 174 aircraft crashes or less serious accidents in the United States due to unauthorized aircraft parts that included counterfeited products. Although none involved a major commercial airline, the accidents caused 17 deaths and 39 injuries.

Safety Topic Fake Electronic Parts Sold to the U. S. Military in 2011 A United States Senate investigation in 2011 found about 1, 800 incidents of counterfeit electronic parts being sold to the military. The incidents involved over 1 million counterfeit parts. 70% of the counterfeit items were traced back to China. The counterfeit parts were used on aircraft like the Air Force’s C-17 transport airplane and the CH-46 helicopter, as well as weapons systems such as the Army’s Theater High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missile defense system.

Objectives • To bring together information between DOE government contractors (Go. Cos) when dealing with suspect/counterfeit items (S/CIs) discovered during receiving inspections. • To exchange information to prevent waste, fraud and abuse by identifying certain types of items and problem suppliers. • Creating an updated S/CI Head Mark list to include any high strength fasteners with no manufacturer identification. • Revising DOE O 232. 2 A. 5

DOE 232. 2 A Attachment 3 #4 DOE O 232. 2 A Attachment 3 1 -17 -2017 Page 1 (and Page 2) OCCURRENCE REPORT PREPARATION 4. Reports on suspect/counterfeit and defective items or material, must provide the manufacturer/supplier/vendor (including a contact, phone number, and website); the model and part numbers; the quantity found; why the item/material is suspect/counterfeit or defective; and how the item/material is being used. Reports must also include the method of detection (i. e. , craft inspection prior to installation, in-service inspection, or failure) and identify any resulting consequences, along with any photos via attachments, as appropriate. In some instances, the information may be considered sensitive (such as contact names and phone numbers). In those instances, the information need not be included in the occurrence report but may be obtained by contacting the Originator of the occurrence report. 6

(2) I Discovery of any other suspect or counterfeit item or material [i. e. , not found in a SC or SS SSC] that is found in any application whose failure could result in a loss of safety function, or present a hazard to public or worker health and safety. 7

S/CI Exchange System • Are there current, existing options? • Should an exchange system be developed? And if so…. • Can we get funding? 8

S/CI Head Mark Lists Most people are aware of suspect/counterfeit fasteners, and they have seen the S/CI head mark cards… But there are other bolts that fit the definition of suspect, including bolts lacking a manufacturer ID. 9

S/CI Head Mark Lists Take this metric hex bolt on the left marked as a grade 8. 8 (Metric ISO designation): Or, the lag bolt on the right marked as grade 5 (SAE designation): According to ISO, ASTM and SAE, all high-strength graded bolts ¼”/5 mm or larger require a manufacturer’s head mark. Otherwise, who says it’s a graded bolt? Someone has to attest that it has been properly heat treated and made using the correct alloys/ingredients. And, this doesn’t include just hex head bolts. If it’s a high strength graded fastener, it needs to have the manufacturer’s head mark. Please contact your QA representative or manager if you find these. 10
