JOSCAR Registered

Auckland International is fully registered on the JOSCAR supplier accreditation register. This means we have met all the requirements set by participating buying organisations to achieve full accreditation.

JOSCAR is a tool designed for collaboration within the aerospace, defence, and security sectors, providing a single database for pre-qualification and compliance details of potential suppliers. It was created through an effort spearheaded by the ADS Group and has a large and growing number of leading contractors as registered purchasers.

It is a cross-sector collaboration which reduces the time, cost and resources needed to validate potential suppliers.  It gives a comprehensive, accurate and regular updated insight into third party risk.

Benefits to buyers include:

• A single source of easily-accessible information on thousands of potential suppliers
• Reduced procurement timescales
• High quality, validated information
• Cost and resource savings, because costs are shared amongst JOSCAR members

JOSCAR and Obsolete Electronic Components

Sourcing obsolete electronic components can present greater risks than buying components that are still in current production. When a part is no longer readily available through the original manufacturer or authorised distribution channels, buyers may need to source components from the wider global market. Choosing a reliable and established supplier becomes particularly important.

JOSCAR registration provides additional reassurance for organisations in the aerospace, defence and security sectors. Suppliers registered on JOSCAR have completed a comprehensive qualification process covering key areas of business operation and supply chain management. This helps purchasing organisations assess potential suppliers and reduce the risks associated with their supply chains.

For obsolete electronic components, supplier quality and sourcing procedures are critical. Components may have been stored for many years, changed hands several times or come from sources that are difficult to verify. There is also an increased risk of counterfeit, remarked or incorrectly specified parts entering the supply chain.

At Auckland International, our JOSCAR registration forms part of our wider commitment to quality and responsible sourcing. Our established global sourcing network, component inspection procedures and quality management systems help us identify and supply obsolete and hard-to-find electronic components to demanding industries.

For customers in the defence and aerospace sectors, continuity of supply can be essential. A single obsolete component can delay repairs, prevent equipment from returning to service or create the need for a costly redesign. By working with an experienced JOSCAR-registered electronic component supplier, organisations can source difficult-to-find parts with greater confidence.
