Do you want to check the genuineness of automotive replacement parts? Use TecIdentify, the MAPP scanning app! Product piracy damages brand image and causes lost sales.

Each product is labelled with an identification number, unique in the world, in the form of a Data Matrix bar-code – the so called MAPP code. With the TecIdentify you can scan the MAPP code on your article and immediately check its authenticity. So you can make sure that your article is genuine – worldwide, 24 hours a day. MAPP stands for Manufacturers against Product Piracy (www.mapp-code.com). The MAPP code was devel-oped in cooperation with the European association of automotive suppliers (CLEPA) and is defined as the standard code for the automotive aftermarket.
