Packaging Inspection

The start of our packaging inspection covers all industry standard elements such as: examination of original sealed packaging, verification of label and marking authenticity, and identification of discrepant reference information. The resulting evidence, however, may be open to subjective interpretation without the integration of corroborating supporting pieces of evidence into a collective profile.

1. Industry Best Practice: Packaging Level

In accordance with following industry defined standards for component level inspection, we conduct all inspection steps such as:

Bar code scan
Country of origin
Seal verification
ESD anti-static bags
MSL humidity
Texture and condition of labels
Damage or tampering of packaging

2. Forensic Application: Packaging Level

he standard inspection steps are an excellent foundation, but sometimes lacks depth and doesn't always account for unexpected outcomes. We improve on steps called out by the standards such as when our inspectors examine packaging to verify similar materials, colors, and sizes. Our team is trained to focus on additional vital details such as:

Foreign contaminants either on or inside the box
Inconsistent surface patterns on the outer packaging in addition to labels
Suspicious ink markings on the packaging materials

Component Inspection

The start of our component inspection covers all industry standard elements such as: verification of parts in carrier, analysis of component surface, and examination of leads. As with packaging inspection, the evidence resulting from component inspection may be open to subjective interpretation without the integration of corroborating supporting pieces of evidence into a collective profile.

1. Industry Best Practice: Component Level

In accordance with following industry defined standards for component level inspection, we conduct all inspection steps such as:

Verify that carrier is manufacturer original or after-market
Check pin condition for corrosion, solder, or physical damage
Check for directional scratches indicative of resurfacing
Check for surface damage
Verify Country of Origin marks
Verify accuracy of part markings

2. Forensic Application: Component Level

By nature, standards often have difficulty keeping up with the constant evolution of counterfeiting methods. This has forced front-line entities such as independent distributors bearing the brunt of responsibility to adapt and mitigate new threats in near real-time.

All tenured inspectors have directly experienced multiple evolutionary shifts since the advent of counterfeiting as a trade in the late 90s but it is the culture and mentality that is developed through training paradigms that sets ANLIN apart.

[Some examples of how ANLIN''s training has proven effective in combating]

new emerging threats over the years:

Prior to its adoption in standards, ANLIN implemented microscopy to identify counterfeit dies and per formed surface analysis.
Prior to its adoption in standards, when sophisticated laser marking equipment was used, our quality team identified a subtle variation in the lettering joints of each character which was indicative of false marking.
