Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

The SKF Authenticate app guides the user on how to verify the authenticity of SKF products. There are two main functionalities in the app: - Clear instructions on how to photograph the product and automatically submit a request, all in one process. Dedicated SKF experts then review the information, verify if the product is counterfeit, and let you know. - Where applicable, the user can use the app to scan a code on the package and get an instant feedback on if the code is valid or not. *Please note* Scan result ‘Scan successful - The code is valid’ is an indication, but not a guarantee, that the product is genuine. Always send photos using the SKF Authenticate app if you need a verification.
