RS ISO IEC 24700: 2005
Quality and performance of office equipment that contains reused components

Abstract

This International Standard specifies product characteristics for use in an original equipment manufacturers or
authorized third party’s declaration of conformity to demonstrate that an office equipment product that contains
reused components performs equivalent to new, meeting equivalent to new component specifications and
performance criteria, and continues to meet all the safety and environmental criteria required by responsibly
built products. The International Standard is relevant to office equipment products whose manufacturing and
recovery processes result in the reuse of components. Annex C has a description of how reuse relates to
other recycling processes.
This International Standard specifically addresses office equipment. Consumable items such as customer
replaceable toner cartridges are not in the scope of this International Standard. Equipment reprocessed by the
original manufacturer or an authorized third party that does NOT meet the equipment’s original design
performance specification is not in the scope of this International Standard. This International Standard is
applicable to:
? A situation in which a government requires a neutral benchmark to evaluate the quality, safety and
performance of equipment that contains reused components and to demonstrate the environmental
responsibility of the supplier. When regulations mandate a neutral benchmark for equipment, this
International Standard provides the benchmark for proving compliance with such regulation.
? A situation in which a commercial supplier requires a neutral benchmark to demonstrate and
communicate the quality, safety and performance of equipment that contains reused components
and to demonstrate the environmental responsibility of the supplier.
? Situations in which consumers require a neutral benchmark to identify or distinguish environmentally
responsible products.
This International Standard reflects the world’s current approaches that yield products from many
manufacturing processes including the reuse of components, with the equipment’s warranties and guarantees
playing an important role in the market acceptance. In today’s procurement processes, technical equipment
definitions used by the regulators must be addressed and, in that sense, this International Standard will be
useful in procurement and, in the trade facilitation area, to communicate with the regulators. This International
Standard specifically addresses office equipment. However, in the future it may provide valuable directions for
other industries and industrial sectors.
