Counterfeit products are goods, often of inferior quality, made or sold with a brand name without the brand owner’s authorization. Nowadays, also the electrical industry is exposed to counterfeit products.
Responsibility for ensuring only genuine quality products are used lies with all those specifying, purchasing and installing electrical equipment. International Law prohibits counterfeiting – free riding on names/reputations of others, receiving undue profits, providing no guarantee on defective goods.
Stay ahead of counterfeiters by protecting your trademark also in China, printing Country of origin/brand name, making mould-in protected marks and by using printed packaging.
Suspect ‘too-good’ prices. If in doubt, check with brand owner/certification body to be sure, since you are responsible. Also purchase only from an authorized supplier/distributor.
Safety at stake, since inferior quality counterfeit electrical products can cause fires, property damage, injury and even death. With 90% of electrical counterfeit goods made in China, the OECD estimates 2% of world trade is counterfeit.
