HOW TO DISTINGUISH A FAKE FROM THE ORIGINAL
A frequently asked question at almost all exhibitions related to measuring devices and other complex technical products: how to distinguish a cheap fake from a high-quality original. In modern conditions, it is relatively easy to make fakes reproducing the appearance of a device or tool; therefore, unauthorized manufacturers counterfeit products of famous brands that look identical. The difference between a counterfeit and an original is the use of materials and components of different quality, which subsequently affect the product’s service life, its accuracy and reliability.
There is a simple rule that applies not only to complex technical products: The 3-P Rule
1. Price. Original products are generally more expensive because they are made from more expensive and high-quality components. Counterfeits are cheaper because their manufacturers have only one goal: to sell as quickly and as much as possible.
2. Packing. Unauthorized manufacturers commonly almost perfectly fake the appearance of products, however, when it comes to packaging, they often lack the resources and attention to it. It is easy to distinguish high-quality packaging by the quality of the box, cardboard and printing, since authorized manufacturers make sure that the device looks good on the distributor’s window display and the packaging prevents damage during transportation. Moreover, there are counterfeit devices made strictly for a specific market, for example, the Chinese one. The presence of hieroglyphics on the packaging is a sign of such devices. In addition, devices made for the Chinese market have a manual in Chinese.
3. Place – place of purchase. It is better to purchase complex technical products from an official representative or partner who has a certificate, for example this one:
Official distributors usually post certificates of manufacturers on their website, in product descriptions, or send them at the request of users.
ADDITIONAL SIGNS OF ORIGINAL PRODUCTS:
Warranty. As a rule, the warranty period for branded products is at least one year, while the warranty period of fakes by the sellers is for a maximum 2 weeks. When purchasing devices in branded stores, each unit of product is supplemented with its own warranty certificate, which clearly indicates the place of purchase, warranty period, date of sale and seller’s stamp.
Materials. It is important to pay attention to the materials used. Cheap rubber parts, fragile plastic, PVC wires instead of silicone are also the signs of a fake.
Conclusion. When searching for and selecting a supplier of complex technical products, such as devices and tools, we recommend that all procurement and supply managers be guided by the above principles, since the use of counterfeit and non-original devices, tools and equipment for them can lead to accidents, downtime and, ultimately, a decrease in the quality of work of any enterprise.
