Hello all,

I am looking for some insight on how to understand the certification status of 
a UPS that was originally UL Certified but is being resold after having spent 
some time with another owner.

I see in the UL YEDU.GuideInfo for Uninterruptible Power-supply Equipment a 
paragraph which says...

REBUILT PRODUCTS
This category also covers UPS equipment that is rebuilt by the original 
manufacturer or another party having the necessary facilities, technical
knowledge and manufacturing skills. Rebuilt UPS equipment is rebuilt to the 
extent necessary by disassembly and reassembly using new or
reconditioned parts. Rebuilt UPS equipment is subject to the same requirements 
as new UPS equipment.

I think my basic question is - if an item is bought used and it bears a proper 
certification mark, should one consider it still certified? Or, does 
certification only extend to the first user, and if resold an item must be 
re-inspected to the original criteria and "certified again"?

I think there is a difference between "re-sold" and "rebuilt", but I'm not 
quite sure what the details must be.
