Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between OEM grade and genuine?
Genuine means the vehicle maker’s part; OEM grade means made to a comparable specification, often by the same supplier. The specification and test evidence matter more than the label.
Does a certificate guarantee quality?
No. It shows that a defined standard was met at a point in time. Verify who issued it, which scope it covers and whether it applies to the specific part you are buying.
