hi bro.
Benson reviewed their cables not their charger. QC wise anker charger should be better, theirs got safety mark approval.

There is more than one way for cables/connectors to be out of spec, this app tests only one of the approaches. Cables that pass this test can still be out of specification in other ways. Passing this test arguably eliminates one of the more dangerous ways it is out of spec, but still doesn't guarantee that it eliminates all risk or guarantees proper compatibility with all Type C devices (like the Chromebook Pixel).

charger wise to be safe just get anker. Anker one got safety mark.
I don't recommend anybody to purchase item without safety mark. Worst case scenario got fire your house fire insurance won't cover it .
Safety mark testing is good and reliable

safety mark is purely a singapore requirement.
albeit your point on insurance is probably true.
those selling without safety mark is not necessarily worse or less reliable.

yeh. but It's at least tested for safety against a Singapore standards by a 3rd party.

Many of the china products have poor QC. There are no 3rd party to test the safety of their products. Safety is not their priority.

If want to buy electrical applicant, at least buy something that checked by a 3rd party.

Once again I disagree.
Many brands like Aukey, Choetech, Tronsmart all have gone through rigorous testing overseas and even in the states.

It's just because local sellers did not go through the testing for safety mark.
In fact, your packaging would be unsealed to put the safety mark then resealed or maybe even sold unsealed.

Cmon dude. Could you take my word for it?
Probably everyone else in this thread can vouch for me.

Someone here already said that the shop has US set, hence the lower price...just wanted to be sure since I doubt they will allow you to open it up and check.

You can ask them for the model number it's labeled at the bar code section.
