The Anti-Counterfeiting Forum’s 10th Annual Seminar, which is to be held on Wednesday 20th March 2019 at BAE Systems Park Centre in Farnborough, Hampshire, promises to prove to be valuable to both those new to the threat who are looking for an introduction to the topic and more experienced professionals in counterfeit mitigation practices to bring them up to date in the latest developments as the presentations confirmed so far include a wealth of new and topical material.
The influence of component obsolescence on counterfeiting has been well publicised.
ESCO’s latest anti-counterfeiting forum highlighted some of the problems facing those procuring hard to get components.
The increasing popularity of solar power in the UK is helping householders cut their electricity bills – but the solar installation could also pose a danger if the components do not meet the latest standards.
With sales of counterfeit electrical products increasing by 12% in the last year alone, the charity Electrical Safety First is hoping a recent Early Day Motion (EDM) submitted by Jim Fitzpatrick, MP for Poplar and Limehouse, will prompt the government to tackle the issue.
Trading Standards Officers are constantly on the look out for fake products. But, a sector rarely considered is electrical items – whether it’s chargers, extension cords, cables, lighting, circuit breakers, fuses, accessories or switches. None of these items are immune from being counterfeited and could have serious health and safety implications.
We hope you enjoy this Video!
If you encounter or suspect the trade or use of counterfeit electrical installation products, we advise you make contact with the manufacturer whose original product has been counterfeited.
It's YOUR responsibility...only buy genuine quality electrical products - NOT counterfeits...
