Our product traceability is now second nature
Traceability is becoming more and more important in our globalized market with complex flow of products.
It provides confidence in the purchase of authentic high quality products and services from proven suppliers. At Farnell, we only source from manufacturers or authorised distribution partners.
We can now provide date and lot codes on over 860,000 best-selling board level components across leading brands.
We will continue to expand the number of brands and the number of products within each brand over time.
IDENTIFY QUICKLY
Search for the component you want to buy and simply look for the ‘Date and Lot’ symbol, which appears against all traceable components on both the search result page and the product details page.
SEARCH FASTER
To accelerate your product selection, you can use the ‘Date and Lot code’ filter available in the compliance section of our parametric search. It will only return products with Date and Lot Codes available.
VALIDATE YOUR SELECTION
'In order to help you quickly validate the selected components, the symbol will appear throughout the checkout journey from the shopping basket to the order summary page and the order confirmation page.
FIND THE INFORMATION YOU NEED
For easy reference, Date and Lot Codes are printed on both the product label and the despatch note.
RETURN
Returns will be accepted for unopened parts in their original packaging and in resalable condition according to our standard Terms and Conditions.
