Purpose:
|
Distinguishing
the genuine article from counterfeit is increasingly challenging.
Accurate product authentication will require efficient access
to information. Central to this objective is the management of
the information needed for product authentication. It is imperative
to have integrated information flow throughout the product life
cycle, from conception to disposal, such that relevant data would
be securely yet readily available to the necessary parties from
manufacturers to end-users to customs and other law enforcement
officers. In order for information management to be an effective
tool for product authentication, international government entities
and global supply chain stakeholders must ensure accessibility
and traceability of pertinent product identity information.
The purpose
of the Product Authentication Information Management Workshop
is to bring together experts from industry supply chains as well
as from the government to clearly define the problems of counterfeiting,
understand their respective root causes, and discuss how effective
information management can serve as tools for mitigating and preempting
counterfeits. The feedback from the workshop will be used as action
plans for the development of industry and government standards
development for managing product authentication and suspect parts
information.
