# What if a component goes out of production?

[All questions](https://syntaforge.com/en/knowledge/)

## The short answer

Review supply risk early and track important components during the programme. If an end-of-life notice arrives, the options may include a final purchase, an alternative part or a design update.

## In more detail

The component list should identify parts that are difficult to replace, including displays, processors and specialist sensors. Availability information needs to come from the relevant supplier.

A replacement can affect software, power, radio performance or certification. It needs validation before use, even if the package or pin layout looks similar.
