Lintech Components Passes QMS-9090 Audit for Second Consecutive Year

Ronkonkoma, NY,  October 29, 2014 –– Lintech Components, a leading distributor of military and industrial components, was recently recertified by the Independent Distributors of Electronics Association (IDEA) for adherence to the IDEA-QMS-9090 Quality Management System Standard for Independent Distributors.

This standard incorporates intensive requirements to assist independent distributors in aligning to industry best practices for component authenticity inspection procedures, vendor management, and more. IDEA-QMS-9090 is an all-encompassing quality management system that builds upon earlier IDEA standards including IDEA-STD-1010, Acceptability of Electronic Components Distributed in the Open Market, and the IDEA-ICE-3000 Professional Inspector Certification Exam. Lintech and its on-site inspectors are certified to all the above-mentioned standards.

Lintech Components created its own Component Authenticity Protection Program prior to the creation of most of the standards that exist today. “Lintech was an early leader in the efforts to keep substandard and counterfeit electronic components out of the supply chain and my entire staff is relentless in its adherence to industry best practices and standards, including QMS-9090-A,” noted Lintech President Ken Linden.
