Suspect/counterfeit items. A suspect item is one in which there is an indication by visual

industry-accepted specifications or national consensus standards. A counterfeit item is a suspect
item that is a copy or substitute without legal right or authority to do so or one whose material,
performance, or characteristics are knowingly misrepresented by the vendor, supplier, distributor,
or manufacturer. An item that does not conform to established requirements is not normally
considered S/CI if the nonconformity results from one or more of the following conditions, which
should be controlled by site procedures as nonconforming items:
