September Testing Summary

Introduction

At Global ETS, we believe that data analytics is essential for spotting trends and managing the risks posed by counterfeiting and manufacturing irregularities. As a trusted partner to OEMs, CMs, and industry professionals, we’ve gathered and analyzed data from the components tested at our labs to reveal possible trends within our sector.

Types of Parts Tested per Manufacturer

With thousands of components passing through our facility, we can see which manufacturers supply the most varied parts for testing.

Manufacturers like Texas Instruments, Analog Devices, and Intel lead in terms of the range of components sent for verification. This data gives a snapshot of where manufacturers stand in terms of the variety of parts they produce, and which parts normally see authentication services.

Pass Rates of Components

As a component testing lab, our goal is to ensure that every part meets the highest standards of quality and authenticity. According to our data, the overall pass rate for components we’ve tested in September is 91.53%.

This means that while the majority of components meet the necessary standards, there are still a significant number of failures. Our ability to identify these failures allows companies to avoid costly product recalls and maintain the integrity of their systems.

Why Failures Matter

A failure during testing can be caused by various factors, including counterfeit parts, defects, or manufacturing inconsistencies. Considering the critical nature of many electronic components, reliability and authenticity testing prior to installation is necessary to protect systems and minimize costs.

Parts Tested by Device Type

Breaking down our data by device type reveals additional insights into industry trends. We’ve seen a significant volume of parts tested across critical device categories such as amplifiers, FPGAs, MCUs, and MOSFETs.

The frequency of these parts suggests a market demand for versatile components in applications ranging from consumer electronics to industrial systems. This reflects a broader movement toward more integrated and efficient designs in electronic products.

Device-Specific Insights

Knowing which device types are most commonly tested can guide procurement decisions and testing priorities. The higher frequency of tests for certain categories indicates where vulnerabilities or higher risks may exist, helping your team focus efforts on the parts that matter most.

Types of Tests Performed

At Global ETS, we employ a variety of testing methods to provide a comprehensive evaluation of each component. From visual inspections to electrical and X-ray testing, our processes are designed to uncover every potential issue a component might have.

Visual testing, which remains our most common procedure, allows us to spot signs of tampering or counterfeit markings. The significant number of visual tests conducted highlights the importance of initial assessments to detect counterfeiting techniques early.

Why This Matters

Each test provides a unique layer of insight. By combining multiple testing methods, we ensure that no potential issue goes unnoticed, giving you the confidence to use components in high-stakes applications.

Conclusion

At Global ETS, we are the leading trusted partner to OEMs, CMs, and others who rely on authentic components to keep their products running smoothly. The data we’ve shared underscores the need for thorough, ongoing testing—especially as the global supply chain becomes more complex and vulnerable to risks such as counterfeiting.
