If Company A, who is an approved manufacturer of a component (IC, diode, etc...) goes out and purchases Company B, do you automatically approve Company B's version of that component as well? What criteria do you use for making your determination? Are there any industry guidelines or standards that address this issue?

Best Regards,
Jeff
