SAE G-19 AS5553 NASA DOD ESCS . What does it all mean? Maybe a lot!

SAE International, through the voluntary work of more than 7,000 committee members and participants, maintains over 8,300 technical standards and related documents.
G-19 Counterfeit Electronic Parts Committee-is chartered to address aspects of Counterfeit Electronic Parts; Avoidance, Detection, Mitigation, and Disposition and is the author of a new standard called AS5553 that has now been adopted by both NASA and the DOD.
The SAE AS5553 standard was created in response to the significant and increasing volume of counterfeit electronic parts entering the aerospace supply chain and standardizes requirements, practices and methods for counterfeit parts risk mitigation. The resulting document presents solutions to address counterfeit electronic parts issues across a large cross-section of the electronics industry.
