Don,
In the EU guidance document for the EMC directive that they published
in July of 1997 they differentiate between apparatus that is simply
repaired, and apparatus that is repaired / refurbished to as new condition.
The latter falls under the EMC directive and standards in effect at the
time of reintroduction to the market. The former appears to be the case you
are interested in; That equipment can be repaired, and even resold in the
EU as long as it is not represented as being "AS-NEW", and meets the EMC
requirements it originally had to meet when originally placed (unit by unit
date determination) on the European Market. As long as your repair parts
are only used for repair of existing product and don't reduce performance
below the previous requirements for the product you should be fine.

Does anyone know how the Harmonics & Flicker requirements apply to
non-compliant, yet non-saleable product after 1/1/01? We will need to
provide customer service on products via warrantee exchanges & parts
shipments, etc. to the EU after 1/1/01, for product which does not comply
and will not be offered for sale in the EU after the cut-in date.
Is there any known exemption for such cases? References to any cited
documentation is appreciated.
