COA: Certificate of authenticity
Counterfeit Philips xenon lamps are becoming increasingly available through online and offline distribution channels. These counterfeit lamps are poor imitations of inferior quality. Buying, selling or being in possession of counterfeit products is illegal.
Always ensure that you are buying genuine Philips products
To protect our customers and all consumers from counterfeit Philips lighting products, we’ve created a pro-active solution using unique, state-of-the-art technology. Philips Certificate of Authenticity (COA) is available on every xenon lamp package you order.
Using the Security code, professionals can verify the authenticity of the Philips product on a dedicated, fully secure internet platform.
Professionals can either scan the QR code or go to www.philips.com/original.
We are committed to helping protect our customers from poor imitations of inferior quality that may damage your vehicle or result in personal injury.
