Concerning EMC requirements on used products: This week there was a meeting at the Commission to work on a new Draft "Guidelines on the application of the EMC directive". I have seen the draft text last week. It is too early to have already some feedback from this meeting.
But from the draft text I could see that this new DOC will contain a chapter regarding used equipment. Hopefully we will get a clarification there from the Commision itself.
