1 Scope
This part of BS 8887 specifies requirements for the process of reconditioning, i.e. returning a used product to a satisfactory working condition by rebuilding or repairing major components that
are close to failure, even where there are no reported or apparent faults in those
components. The reconditioning process can include parts or components to be used
in subsequent assembly. This part of BS 8887 is applicable to manufactured products. It is not applicable to:
-
• certain transient products or consumables (e.g. food, fuel);
-
• digital media;
-
• commodity materials (e.g. base chemical substances, sand or minerals).
NOTE It should be noted that BS 8887‑2 defines recondition and refurbishment as synonymous.
