​

"Aerospace and Defense have focused on an Active-Defensive Parts Inspection Process in Preventing Suspect Counterfeiting. However, ESD Materials and Packaging that protect ESD sensitive components can also be Suspect with detrimental effects. Suspect Counterfeit and Supplier Non-conformance with Packaging and Materials Issues have set back launches, compromised product and caused contamination. Failure to Qualify and Validate ESD Materials and Packaging for Class 0 components is proving Costly."
