scope:

This standard is applicable to suppliers of, and affected customers for, electronic products and their constituent components.

The goal of this notification standard is to better enable customers to manage and mitigate the disruption caused by the discontinuation of a product and ensure continuity of supply. This standard establishes the requirements for timely customer notification of planned product discontinuance, which will assist customers in managing end-of-life supply, or to transition ongoing requirements to alternate products.

A Product Discontinuance business policy that has been agreed to by the supplier and customer supersedes the requirements in this document.
