Thousands of engine components may have been sold with forged paperwork by AOG Technics

Jet engine maker CFM International said thousands of engine components may have been sold with forged paperwork by AOG Technics.

Countermark stops this type of fraud.

The aerospace industry uses a standard FORM1, to vouchsafe repaired and resold parts. The only authentication is a signature that the buyer cannot compare with the genuine signature.

Countermark can be used to authenticate Certificates of Conformity (CoC’s) like FORM1 used in aircraft parts, with no changes to regulations on how FORM1 should be used.

A sample FORM1 is in the first comment, to check it, scan the Countermark on the form using the Countermark App, if you have given the App your email address and confirmed it, the Countermark servers will email a copy of the original document to you (the Countermark App requires a registered email address with GDPR acceptance confirmation).

Do you think the aviation industry should continue to mandate easy to fake paperwork?
