Our Counterfeit Controls
Every part we ship is inspected on receipt under our ISO 9001:2015 quality system. The work splits deliberately between what we do in-house and what we send to impartial labs:
In-house, on every relevant order
- Documentation & provenance review — we verify the supply history and paperwork before a part is accepted
- High-magnification microscopy — surface, marking, and package inspection under magnification
- Marking permanency & condition checks — resurfacing and remarking indicators, lead/pin and package condition
Accredited independent labs, when a requirement warrants it
- XRF material/lead-finish verification
- FTIR surface-material analysis (resurfacing detection)
- X-ray internal die and bond inspection
- Decapsulation die verification
- Electrical testing to datasheet parameters
Routing advanced analysis to accredited independent laboratories keeps the results impartial — the lab has no stake in the sale.

How does RH Electronics screen for counterfeit parts?
Every part is inspected on receipt under our ISO 9001:2015 quality system. In-house we verify documentation and provenance, examine parts under high-magnification microscopy, and check marking permanency and lead condition. When a requirement warrants it, we escalate to accredited independent labs for XRF, FTIR, X-ray, decapsulation, and electrical testing.
Do you test parts in-house or at a lab?
Both, by design. Documentation review, microscopy, and marking-permanency checks are in-house; advanced analysis such as XRF, FTIR, X-ray, decapsulation, and electrical test is performed by accredited independent laboratories so the results are impartial.
What standards and memberships back your controls?
We are ISO 9001:2015 certified (NQA / ANAB), an ERAI member since 1998, and a GIDEP participant. Our Oceanside facility operates an ANSI/ESD S20.20-2021 control program, and every shipment includes a Certificate of Conformance.
