Did you recently purchase a new iPhone or other smartphone during a sale and also purchased a separate charger? And now you're wondering whether the charger you purchased is genuine or fake? Nowadays, there are many cheap and counterfeit phone chargers on the market, which can not only impair your device's performance but also severely damage its battery.
Therefore, it's crucial to know whether your phone charger is genuine or fake. But what if we told you that you can find out in minutes using a government app? Yes, we're talking about the BIS Care mobile app, which can help you determine whether your mobile charger is genuine or fake in just minutes. Let's learn more about it...
The R-number will tell if the charger is genuine or fake.
If you've recently purchased a new charger, the first thing you should do is check the R-number printed on it. For those who don't know what an R-number is, it's a unique reference code for devices certified by the BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards), also commonly referred to as an R-number or tag code. This code provides information related to the manufacturer and authenticity. Using this number, you can determine whether your mobile charger is genuine or fake within minutes.
Check using the BIS Care app:
First, download the BIS Care app to your smartphone.
Open the app and click on the 'Verify R Number' option on the home screen.
Now, carefully examine the R-number printed on the charger.
Type or paste the R-number into the app and click the Search/Verify button.
The app will tell you within seconds whether the code is valid or not.
The product's brand and certification information will also be displayed.
