Quality and transparency are the cornerstone foundations of our business, because a counterfeit or mis-marked part on an OEM production line is not something any buyer can absorb. Critical Chip Solutions provides comprehensive counterfeit electronic parts testing through a global network of independent laboratories accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and AS6171 for the detection of suspect and counterfeit electronic components.
As an AS6171 certified distributor, our team supports OEMs, contract manufacturers, and Tier 1 auto suppliers with parts verified either directly by the manufacturer or through independent electronic component testing before every shipment. Prior to final delivery, customers can approve all test reports, labels, and documentation. Every order is backed by our 3 year warranty.
Quality & Transparency are the cornerstone foundations of our business. We utilize a global network of independent Testing Laboratories accredited in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025:2017 & AS6171 Detection of Suspect/Counterfeit Parts.
Our team is committed to providing only the highest-quality components, verified directly by the manufacturer or by independent testing laboratories.
Prior to final shipment, our customers are able to approve all test reports, labels, and documentation. Furthermore, our commitment to quality is always backed by our 3-year warranty.
Our electronic component testing services are built around the industry’s most demanding aerospace, defence, automotive, and commercial standards. Each protocol is followed to protect your BOM from counterfeit risk and shortage-driven quality escapes.
Every laboratory in our network operates as an accredited ISO 17025 testing lab, giving OEM and Tier 1 buyers full traceability and confidence in every test report. This layered approach to ISO 17025 testing lets Critical Chip Solutions support both commercial and mission critical production programs
Our multi stage inspection workflow combines physical, chemical, and electrical evaluation to catch counterfeit and defective parts before they enter your production line a critical safeguard when sourcing from open-market inventory during shortages.
The first stage of our counterfeit parts detection process, verifying the component and its packaging against known authentic references.
Our electrical component testing capabilities cover the full spectrum of functional and parametric verification, supported by dedicated semiconductor testing services and IC testing services for both current production and legacy parts used on OEM and Tier 1 programs.
Solderability testing confirms that leads and pads will accept solder cleanly during your assembly process, protecting yield on both prototype and production runs.
We regularly source a wide range of products from leading manufacturers and approved vendors around the world. In total, we secure electronic components from over 500 manufacturers, and every part shipped to an OEM, CM, or Tier 1 production line is backed by our full quality assurance process from our operations in Concord, North Carolina.
Counterfeit electronic parts testing is a multi stage process that combines visual, X-ray, chemical, and electrical inspection to confirm that a component is authentic and functional before it reaches an OEM or Tier 1 production line. Critical Chip Solutions performs this testing on every order through a network of ISO 17025 and AS6171 accredited laboratories.
Shortages push buyers into the open market, where counterfeit and mis-marked parts are far more common. Independent testing protects OEM and Tier 1 production lines from line-down events, warranty exposure, and quality escapes caused by suspect inventory.
We detect counterfeit electronic components using layered counterfeit parts detection methods, including external visual inspection, X-ray component inspection, XRF component analysis, DPA testing electronics, and full electrical verification cross referenced against manufacturer datasheets and known authentic samples.
AS6171 testing is the SAE standard covering the detection of suspect and counterfeit electronic parts. As an AS6171 certified distributor, Critical Chip Solutions follows the full inspection protocol including visual, X-ray, XRF, decapsulation, and electrical testing before parts ship to the customer.
Yes. Every ISO 17025 testing lab in our network is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017, the international standard for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories. This layered approach to ISO 17025 testing applies to commercial, automotive, industrial, and defence programs.
Yes. Our XRF component analysis process includes full RoHS compliance testing to validate that components meet the Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive. Any discrepancies against OCM data are flagged for further counterfeit risk investigation.
Decapsulation testing, sometimes performed as part of a DPA, exposes the die and internal interconnections for microscope review. It confirms that the die matches an authentic reference device and is a key step for component authentication on high value, obsolete, or aerospace grade parts used on OEM and Tier 1 programs.
Our semiconductor testing services and IC testing services cover curve trace, LCR, transistor testing for MOSFETs and diodes, memory testing, functional testing, RF testing, FPGA speed grade testing, and solderability testing among many others.
Our operations are headquartered in Concord, North Carolina, and we coordinate component testing Concord NC and worldwide through a global network of independent ISO 17025 and AS6171 accredited laboratories.
Yes. Every part we supply is covered by a full 3 year warranty, alongside the complete test report and documentation available for review prior to shipment.
