1 Scope
This International 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 not 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.
NOTE This standard can also be applied in producing product specific standards by technical committees responsible for an application sector.
