How We Battle Counterfeits

Cyclops Electronics uses its decades of industry expertise and established relationships to minimise counterfeit entering the supply chain. We pride ourselves on our robust supplier onboarding process and our supplier performance management to minimise risk when working with both new and established suppliers.

Our highly qualified team of inspectors  runs a rigorous component inspection program. All incoming electronic goods are photographed, inspected, and tested as required to verify their authenticity and integrity.

Cyclops Electronics is dedicated to maintaining high standards of quality assurance and accountability, as demonstrated by our ISO 9001:2015 certification, and our JOSCAR and ERAI memberships. Through integrated quality processes, which are regularly reviewed and monitored by internal audits and compared with our key quality objectives, we continually strive to improve and strengthen our quality management system.

Quality and inspection processes are meticulously recorded in our internal system. Each component is barcoded and tracked at every stage, from supplier delivery note right though to customer despatch. These records are accessible to team members globally, guaranteeing a consistent quality approach in everything we do.

Cyclops Electronics works with a selection of trusted support partners who assist in further testing to ensure part authentication and substandard quality mitigation. Local to the supply chain, these accredited test houses provide inspection to AS6081 requirements, check RoHS compliance and perform a range of other testing designed to fit customer’s specific needs. Other value-added services include lead trimming and scanning, taping and reeling and IC programming.

Quality is an essential part of Cyclops Electronics’ operations and embedded into our culture, with employees trained in our ethos and systems, providing a consistent approach to product quality, reliability, and customer service. Cyclops Electronics endeavours to keep your supply chain free of counterfeit and has measures in place to support this goal.
