UKEA launches counterfeit electronic components survey

The UK Electronics Alliance is calling for organisations that have had experience of counterfeit components to take part in a new online survey.

The UKEA says it is attempting to compile a definitive measure of the size of the problem and how it affects UK businesses. The UKEA Counterfeit Electronic Components Survey – Single Case version, has been established in a bid to encourage companies to cite examples of counterfeiting. The collated results of the survey will be published and copies of the report will be emailed to all participants.
