Differences between original equipment and counterfeit

In today's world, the market is full of various products, among which it is important to be able to distinguish original equipment from fakes. This applies not only to household appliances, but also to electronics, accessories, and other goods. Here are some of the main signs that can help you distinguish between an original and a fake. Let's take the example of Keli Sensing Technology equipment (QS-D 30t load cell (OAP quality))

Original equipment usually has a stable price, while fakes can be sold much cheaper. If the price looks too good to be true, you should be careful.

2. Packaging

Genuine equipment usually has high-quality packaging with clear labels, logos, and information about the manufacturer and importer. Counterfeit packaging may be sloppy, of a different design, and may have grammatical errors or lack important information. An example of original packaging:

3. Quality of workmanship and packaging

Original products usually have high quality workmanship and appropriate documentation. The products are laser engraved with the manufacturer's logo, model name, production date, etc., while fakes may have defects such as uneven seams, poor connections, or cheap materials. There may also be a lack of laser engraving, (replaced by a sticker), documentation, and incomplete packaging.Examples of equipment:

4. Warranty and service

Original products usually have an official warranty and access to service. If the product does not have a warranty or its terms are questionable, it may indicate a fake.

5. Certification

Check for quality or compliance certificates. Original equipment is usually certified, while counterfeits often do without such documents. Original equipment is supplied with a passport for each product with a holographic sticker that certifies the certification and originality of this product.Example of certified equipment:

Purchase products only from authorized dealers or official importer websites. Do not buy products from suspicious sources, such as unknown online stores or spontaneous markets.
