Page 1 (11) of the new EMCD states "Where this Directive regulates apparatus, it should refer to finished apparatus commercially available for the first time on the Community market. Certain components or sub-assemblies should, under certain conditions, be considered to be apparatus if they are made available to the end-user." See also clause 1.2.3 of the new EMCD guide for clarification on this point.

I agreed with John's opinion - spare parts would not be an "apparatus" as defined in the new EMCD in general, and they would not be covered by the EMCD in the first place. However, maybe we should note that componets or sub-assemblies intended for incorporation into an apparatus by the end user can be deemed to be an appratatus, hence maybe EMCD applies.
