Since July 2015, Gates assigns each package of PowerGrip® timing belts a unique code. New labels make it possible to verify the unique code in three (3) ways thanks to a triple security marking that will help to distinguish the original Gates belts from the fake ones. The packaging is printed with a unique 14-digit alphanumeric code that can be entered online at gates.com/original to confirm the authenticity of the goods. Alternatively, you can scan the QR-code, which helps to understand if you are dealing with fake or genuine article. In order do this, you need to install a special application on the smartphone or barcode scanner.
