ANTI-COUNTERFEITING POLIC Y
Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation’s Anti-Counterfeiting Policy. Fairchild’s Anti-Counterfeiting Policy is also stated on our external website,
www.Fairchildsemi.com, under Sales Support.
Counterfeiting of semiconductor parts is a growing problem in the industry. All manuf actures of semiconductor products are experien cing counterfeiting of th eir
parts. Customers who inadvert ently pur ch ase cou nte rfeit par ts e xperi en ce many prob lems such a s loss of brand rep utati on, subst anda rd p erf ormance , fa iled
application, and increased cost of production and manufacturing delays. Fairchild is taking strong measure s to protect oursel ve s and our customers from the
proliferation of counterfeit parts. Fair child strongly encou rages cust omers to purch ase Fairch ild parts either direct ly from Fairchild or from Authorized Fai rchild
Distributors who are listed by country on our web page cited above. Products customers buy either from Fairchild directly or from Authorized Fairchild
Distributors are genuine parts, have full traceability, meet Fairchild’s quality standards for handing and storage and provide access to Fairchild’s full range of
up-to-date technical and product information. Fairchild and our Authorized Distributors will stand behind all warranties and will appropriately address and
warranty issues that may arise. Fairch ild will not provide any warranty coverage or other assistance for parts bought from Unauthorized Sources. Fairchild is
