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 assurance [for example, testing and analysis, required for products containing reused parts, which are declared "qualified-as-good-as-new" (QAGAN)] relative to the designed life of the product.

This document specifies requirements to be satisfied before making a declaration or applying a designation of QAGAN. This document also gives guidance to support any organisation that makes declarations about dependability of products containing reused parts.

In this document, the term "product" covers electrical, electro-mechanical, mechanical parts or hardware that can contain software.

"Qualified-as-good-as-new" (QAGAN) does not apply to reused materials or large structures and large systems, nor does it cover software products, concepts, and ideas.

The purpose of this document is to ensure by tests and analysis that the reliability and functionality of a new product containing reused parts is comparable to a product that contains only new parts. This would justify the manufacturer granting the next customer the full warranty of the product with "qualified-as-good-as-new" (QAGAN) parts.

NOTE This document can also be applied in producing product-specific standards by technical committees responsible for an application sector.

Annex A describes extending useful life by refurbishment, updating, upgrading, maintenance and used as second-hand. These concepts are defined and the requirements for using the term with reference to this document are stated.
