DANSK DS/EN 62309 PDF

This standard introduces the concept to check the reliability and functionality of reused parts and their usage within new products. It also provides information and criteria about the tests/analysis required for products containing such reused parts, which are declared "qualified-as-good-as-new" relative to the designed life of the product. In this standard the term "product" covers electrical, electro-mechanical, mechanical parts or hardware that may contain software. "Qualified-as-good-as-new" does no apply to software products, concepts and ideas. The purpose of this standard is to ensure by tests and analysis that the reliability and functionality of a new product containing reused parts is comparable to a product with only new parts. This would justify the manufacturer granting the next customer the full warranty of the product with "qualified-as-good-as-new" parts.
