Genuine Cummins parts
Verify your parts are genuine.
Counterfeit parts sold as “Cummins parts” are on the rise globally. These imitation products use inferior materials, loose specifications, and can lead to engine damage, safety risks, poor performance, and voided warranties. Cummins takes a zero-tolerance approach to counterfeiting and is committed to protecting every customer who depends on the quality and reliability of genuine Cummins parts.
Three labels, all genuine
| Label type | Security feature | How to verify | Label |
|---|---|---|---|
| Legacy label | No hologram or QR code | Purchase from an authorized source is your best assurance |  |
| Hologram | Cummins hologram + verification code | Tilt/rotate the hologram to check for security marks; enter the verification code here |  |
| QR code | Secure QR code | Scan the QR code with your smartphone camera — no app required but available |  |
Important: A label without a hologram does NOT mean the product is counterfeit. Existing inventory will not be relabeled, and multiple label versions will coexist in the market for an extended period — potentially several years — as stock rotates at different rates by product type and region. Label content will continue to comply with current packaging guidelines.
The new Cummins parts label features a secure QR code printed directly on the packaging. Verifying your part is simple:
-
Scan — Use your smartphone camera to scan the QR code on the label. No special app download is required.
-
Authenticate — Your phone’s browser will open a secure Cummins verification page (scan.cummins.com), follow the onscreen instructions and the system instantly checks the code’s authenticity.
-
See Your Result — The page will display whether the product has been verified as genuine.
This technology uses a patented copy-detection pattern embedded in the QR code itself. Unlike traditional QR codes, the secure QR code is designed so that any attempt to copy or reproduce it causes a measurable loss of information — meaning counterfeit copies can be detected automatically.
Tip: If you encounter a QR code that directs you to an unfamiliar website or doesn’t reach a Cummins verification page, do not trust the product. Report it using the reporting form on this page.

No matter which label you see, your single most effective protection against counterfeit parts is purchasing from an authorized Cummins distributor or dealer.
