A material and a method for forming a tamper-indicating identification coating are provided. The components of the coating are selected such that the coating exhibits a characteristic absorption spectrum with distinct features in individual regions during Fourier-transform infa-red (FTIR) spectroscopy. The coating components are selected to provide a distinct spectrum while, at the same time, providing a sufficiently complex spectrum such that the coating is difficult to duplicate. Also, a blowing agent in the coating decomposes to change the FTIR spectrum due to the heat associated with resoldering of an out-of-warranty electronic part marked with the identification coating to an in-warranty circuit card. In addition, the coating may contain a fluorophore to reveal the presence of a tamper-indicating identification coating, allowing a manufacturer to check the card by exposure with ultra-violet (UV) light. Further, the coating composition may be changed periodically and tracked to provide a date marker.

The invention relates to a method for operating a FTIR (Fourier transformation infrared) spectrometer, wherein a validation / calibration of the spectrometer is carried out in cyclically recurring intervals in that by way of at least two temporarily available gases a reference spectrum with a zero gas and also an absorption spectrum with a calibration gas are recorded. The invention further relates to a spectrometer according to the preamble of the patent claims 1 and 8. In order to achieve that at each site of use and at any time a calibration or validation of the spectrometer can be carried out, the invention proposes to use so-called substitute gases during the validation of the spectrometer as gas components, said substitute gases only simulating the actual measured gas component with respect to the metrological properties.
