Short answer: To make sure you are buying an original Absen SMD screen in Pakistan, buy from the authorised distributor, ask to see the authorisation certificate, check the model name against Absen’s product range, and get warranty and after-sales terms in writing. Absen has also passed China Customs’ AEO Advanced certification audit again, which shows its export process meets a high customs standard.
What is AEO Advanced certification?
AEO means Authorised Economic Operator. Customs gives this status to companies whose trade processes, records and security pass a detailed audit. Companies with AEO Advanced status get priority processing, fewer inspections, lower clearance costs and faster processing times. According to Absen, the status is recognised in 28 economies and 54 countries and regions.
What did Absen achieve?
Shenzhen Customs’ AEO certification team reviewed Absen’s headquarters in Shenzhen, and Absen passed the AEO Advanced audit again. This was its second successful audit. In 2016 Absen became the first company in the LED display industry to receive AEO certification.
Why should a buyer in Pakistan care?
The Pakistani market has many unbranded SMD screens that look like branded ones but use cheaper LEDs, power supplies and receiving cards. Problems usually show up after a few months: dead pixels, colour patches, and no spare parts. A manufacturer with audited, traceable export processes makes it easier to trust that the product shipped is the product promised.
How to check that an Absen SMD screen is original
- Buy from the authorised distributor. In Pakistan, that is Irfan Corporation. You can see the Absen authorisation certificate for Irfan Corporation on our SMD screens page.
- Match the model name. Every Absen panel belongs to a named series, such as the K V3, NX or AW Pro. Check it on the Absen products page.
- Look at the cabinet labels. Original panels carry Absen labels with the model and serial number.
- Ask for the warranty in writing, with the name of the company that will honour it in Pakistan.
- Ask about spare parts. Before you buy, find out who stocks spare modules and power supplies.
