Amund, The Blue Guide (circa 2000) says: "Products which have been repaired (for example following a defect), without changing the original performance, purpose or type, are not to be considered as new products according to New Approach directives. Thus, such products need not undergo conformity assessment, whether or not the original product was placed on the market before or after the directive entered into force. This applies even if the product has been temporarily exported to a third county for the repair operations. Such operations are often carried out by replacing a defective or worn item by a spare part, which either is identical, or at least similar, to the original spare part (for example modifications may have taken place due to technical progress, or discontinued production of the old part). Thus, maintenance operations are basically excluded from the scope of the directives. However, at the design stage of the product the intended use and maintenance must be taken into account (23)."

Can't find any spare part discussion in latest EMC guideline (2010), but I find some text in the old 89/336/EC guideline. Anyone who have seen such an updated guideline for how to handle spare parts?
