Currently, tech companies don't provide chargers in the box with smartphones. Therefore, people have to purchase chargers from other stores. Purchasing a charger from outside is a major problem, as the market is full of cheap and counterfeit chargers. This often leaves us wondering whether the charger we're buying is genuine and reliable. But now we're going to tell you about a code that can easily solve this problem for smartphone users.

If you ever look closely at a smartphone charger, you'll notice a unique code written on the back. This code begins with the letter "R," followed by a dash and some numbers. This is an official registration code issued by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). This code is required for electronic products sold in India. It means the charger meets government-set safety and quality standards.

The R code on a mobile charger indicates that the mobile charger you are purchasing is registered and certified. A mobile charger bearing this code meets safety standards and is not of poor quality. Therefore, if this code is missing or incorrectly written on the mobile charger, be cautious. Purchasing such a charger can be dangerous for your smartphone. Such chargers also pose a risk of explosion.

If you want to be even more sure when purchasing a smartphone charger, you can check the code online. You can use the BIS Care app or the official BIS website. Simply enter the code on the charger. Afterward, complete information related to this code will appear on your screen. This will help you determine within seconds whether the charger or other product you purchased is genuine or counterfeit.

Checking the R code on the charger means increasing your smartphone's security. Buying a counterfeit charger can result in faster damage and cost you more. Furthermore, problems like overheating, short circuits, or current leakage can occur. However, purchasing an original charger will reduce the likelihood of these problems and increase your smartphone's security.
