Siemens is fighting back!

Counterfeiting is a significant problem. Counterfeit circuit breakers pose serious safety and business issues beyond the economic impact. They put lives at risk. Fake parts can explode, ignite fires and lead to injury or even death. Safety standards aren’t being met, and no warranties or guarantees back them up. And counterfeits can damage the integrity of your business. Buying or distributing fake products, even inadvertently, hurts your reputation and can leave you vulnerable to legal action.

We want to send a clear signal to the residential and industrial markets that Siemens is serious about circuit breaker safety, so we have joined forces with other manufacturers as well as NAED, NECA, NEMA and UL to fight this issue. That's why Siemens is a proud sponsor of the Anti Counterfeit Products Initiative, found online at: www.counterfeitscankill.com

To be certain that products are authentic, distributors should purchase directly from Siemens or from a Siemens-authorized distributor. At the same time, you should be highly suspicious of Siemens products purchased from unauthorized third parties.
