Dependability of new products containing reused parts and life-extended products

IEC 62309:2024 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.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.This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2004. This edition constitutes a technical revision.This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:a) the previous Annex A has been separated into Annex B (Dependability aspects) and Annex C (Example with QAGAN parts);b) a new normative Annex A has been written with expansion of lifecycle activities, to describe extending the useful life by refurbishment, life extension, updating, upgrading and second-hand use;c) revision of Figure 1 accordingly;d) minor editorial alignments throughout the document;e) the abbreviation "quagan" has been changed "QAGAN" to reflect more contemporary use.

Dependability of new products containing reused parts and life-extended products

IEC 62309:2024 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.
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.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2004. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) the previous Annex A has been separated into Annex B (Dependability aspects) and Annex C (Example with QAGAN parts);
b) a new normative Annex A has been written with expansion of lifecycle activities, to describe extending the useful life by refurbishment, life extension, updating, upgrading and second-hand use;
c) revision of Figure 1 accordingly;
d) minor editorial alignments throughout the document;
e) the abbreviation "quagan" has been changed "QAGAN" to reflect more contemporary use.

Dependability of products containing reused parts - Requirements for functionality and tests

Introduces the concept to check the reliability and functionality of reused parts and their usage within new products. 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. 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.
