The DTI's position on this as I understand it, is that if the product is refurbished, repaired etc and given back to the original customer then it is not required to be re-WEED(?). If it is re-sold as new then it does. If the reburbishment or repair introduces new parts then these need to be ROHS compliant if the original product is. Merry Xmas.
From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jim Eichner Sent: 19 December 2005 18:52 To: [email protected] Subject: WEEE/RoHS - "Placing on the market" In the context of WEEE/RoHS, but perhaps with a more general application to the CE Mark and other Directives, what is the position regarding refurbished product? I assume the answer is that a product that has been refurbished is being placed on the market again when it is sent back into Europe. It is somewhat possible for a counter position that it was placed on the market when it was new, and this 2nd life doesn't count. Thanks for your input, and Merry Christmas to all, Jim Eichner, P.Eng.
