scope:

This document contains a general method to assess the ability of energy-related products to be remanufactured. It is intended to be used by technical committees when producing horizontal, generic, and product, or productgroup, standards.

NOTE 1 Throughout this document, reference to 'user of this document' refers to those members of technical committees that are producing horizontal, generic, and product, or product-group, standards as well as any person using the standard directly.

Assessing the ability of a part that is not considered to be an energy-related product to be remanufactured is not considered in this document.

NOTE 2 To assess the ability of an energy-related product to be remanufactured (i.e. in 5.2.1 to 5.2.5), the described criteria are applied to the parts of the energy-related product.

A scoring system to quantify the ability of an energy-related product to be remanufactured is not covered in this document. Only the criteria for the ability of an energy-related product to be remanufactured are presented in this document.
