Risk Information

Obsolescence management can reduce the risk of acquiring counterfeit electronic parts. Accuris provides life cycle risk scoring to help you proactively manage the life cycle of parts.

The life cycle risk score is calculated using information from the part status attribute.

Score	Definition
Low	Part status is Active.
Med	Part status is Active-Unconfirmed, NRFND, Contact-Mfr, or Transferred.
High	Part status is EOL or Discontinued.

The life cycle risk score links to information on the following attributes:

Life cycle attribute
Life cycle stage	A textual representation of the life cycle stage of a part. Values are Introduction, Growth, Mature, Phase-Out, and Discontinued.
Availability YTEOL	Indicator for the availability of a part defined as a range of years. The Years to End of Life YTEOL appears as a text string using greater than and less than indicators.
Smart Alert prediction date	Indicates when the life cycle information for this manufacturer and technology group was last predicted. Parts and Manufacturers have different review cycles based upon several factors such as how the part is classified.
Life cycle information source	Identifies the source of the life cycle information. Values can be Accuris, Accuris/Manufacturer, and Manufacturer.
Life cycle code	A numerical code from 1 to 5 that correlates to the Life Cycle Stage. A value of 1 indicates Introduction and a value of 5 indicates Discontinued.
Estimated YTEOL	A numerical representation for estimated years to end of life as of the Smart Alert prediction date.
Current Estimated YTEOL	A numerical representation for estimated years to end of life calculated using a combination of Estimated YTEOL+ Smart Alert prediction date+ Current date. This attribute is only calculated for parts that have both estimated YTEOL and life cycle prediction data values.

To determine the Supply Chain Risk Score, an Average Lead Time in weeks is calculated for the part if there are individual lead times from authorized distributors.

Score	Definition
Low	Average Lead Time from authorized distributors for this part is 8 weeks or less. A low amount of supply chain risk is associated with this status.
Low-Med	Average Lead Time from authorized distributors for this part is between 8 and 16 weeks. If Average Lead Time is unknown, the supply chain risk is based on the active status of the part and the availability of active alternates from other manufacturers (MS).
Med	Average Lead Time from authorized distributors for this part is between 16 and 24 weeks. If Average Lead Time is unknown, the supply chain risk is based on the active status of the part and the lack of active alternates from other manufacturers (SS).
Med-High	Average Lead Time from authorized distributors for this part is between 24 and 32 weeks. If Average Lead Time is unknown, the supply chain risk is based on the NRFND part status.
High	Average Lead Time from authorized distributors for this part is greater than 32 weeks. If Average Lead Time is unknown, the supply chain risk is based on the EOL part status.
N/A	The supply chain risk score is not populated (blank) for parts that do not have an average lead time and their part status is not active, NRFND, or EOL.

The supply chain risk score also links to information on the following attributes:

Supply chain attribute
Alternative Part Options	Yes indicates that there are active alternates (crosses) for each part. No indicates that there are no active alternates for the part. There may be alternates that are discontinued. This information may be useful if you have access to excess inventory for the discontinued alternates.
Distributor Info Available	Yes indicates that Accuris is receiving pricing and availability information for this part. No indicates that Accuris is currently not receiving any distributor information on this part.
Active Mfrs	A count of the number of manufacturers in the database that have an active part number that matches. This information is very useful when researching industry standard part numbers.
Active Generics	Number of active parts in the database that have the same generic part number. This information is very useful when researching parts with industry standard generic numbers.

Supply chain risk scores also provide access to the following Export Compliance attributes:

Export compliance attributes
HTS Code	Harmonized Tariff Schedule Code used to classify goods. A 10-digit code assigned to all commodities imported into the United States. Based on the 2-, 4-, and 6-digit headings and subheadings of the international Harmonized Systems.
SB Code	Schedule B Export Codes. A 10-digit commodity code based upon the 4- and 6-digit headings and subheadings of the international Harmonized Systems
ECCN	Export Control Classification Number assigned by the U.S. Department of Commerce, BIS in the CCL. This a fundamental designation indicating the level of control for an item. Items that are not classified under an ECCN are designated as "EAR99".
ECCN governance	Export Control Classification Number governance as defined in Section 3 of the US Government's Commerce Control List.

The Environmental / Material risk score is calculated using information from the following attributes:

• EU RoHS Compliant
• China RoHS Compliant
• REACH Compliant
• Existence of FMD information

Score	Definition
Low	If a part is EU RoHS Compliant, REACH Compliant, has FMD information, and China RoHS Compliant is not set to NO, then the score is set to Low.
Med	If the part has environmental information that does not meet the conditions for a low or high score, then the value of the part's score is set to Medium (Med).
High	If a part is not EU RoHS Compliant or it is not REACH Compliant, and there is no FMD information, then the score is set to High.

A value of N/A, indicates that there is no environmental information on the part. Create a Research Request to see if this information can be added to the part record.

The Environmental / Material risk score provides access to the summary environmental information listed below:

Environmental / material attribute
EU RoHS Compliant	YES indicates that the manufacturer represents the device as being compliant with the RoHS directive. RoHS is a directive of the European Union (EU) concerning the elimination of various materials from products. NO indicates that the part is not compliant. Where not compliant, if an alternate part that is compliant exists in the database, a hyperlink to the part details for that part appears in the Compliant Alternate row. Where a hyperlink value appears in the Exemptions row, click to display the RoHS-Exemptions.pdf file.
5/6 Compliant	YES indicates that the manufacturer represents that the part is "RoHS 5 of 6 Compliant" but is not completely RoHS complaint due to the non-exempt presence of lead (Pb) in an amount greater than that allowed by the RoHS directive.
China RoHS Compliant	Identifies if the part is compliant to the environmental restrictions outlined in China's Administrative Measure on the Control of Pollution Caused by Electronic Information Products law.
REACH Compliant	Identifies if the part contains > 0.1% w/w of any SVHC on the ECHA's Candidate List of SVHCs as of the date shown in the REACH Candidate List.
REACH Candidate List	Identifies the revision date of the ECHA's List of Candidate SVHCs. This version of the list was used to set the value of the REACH Compliant attribute.
FMD Material Exist	Indicates if full material disclosure data exist for the part.

Score	Definition
High	orange
Low	green
Med	blanched almond
