WHAT IS THE RELEVANCE OF " TRUST SHIELD "
Each product supplied by KPM undergoes a series of lab & field testing trials. Performance of equipment is closely monitored in rigorous field trials under stringent conditions. Once the equipment passes through these trials, then it is launched in the market .
Trust Shield is an initiative to quantify the testing outcomes. Trust shield is a way to impart transparency to customer's purchase process.
Does it mean that 3-Star is better than 2 Star .
Yes & No , Any equipment with a 2 Star KPM TRUST SHIELD can be equally good as a 3 Star equipment. The star rating of KPM TRUST SHIELD depends on many factors such as number of field trials & number of lab trials. The star rating of KPM TRUST SHIELD also depends on the time period for which the equipment is performing on the field in terms of robustness and reliability.
Any 2 Star product can also fall in 3 Star rating if it performs consistently for 7+ Years .
