Introduction
There is a significant risk to product quality from Counterfeit, Fraudulent and Substandard Items (CFSI). To help mitigate this risk, many customers are now requiring suppliers of materials and components to implement processes that aim to prevent, detect and dispose of CFSI.

- Raw materials are purchased to agreed specifications.
Goods Inwards
- Incoming product accompanied by certification, checked against original PO
- Incoming product inspected for suspect items and validated against specification
- Any non-conformance raised with the supplier and material rejected if necessary.
Storage/Stock Holding
