How does CE marking apply to second hand and refurbished equipment?

CE marking does not apply to second hand equipment provided that second hand equipment has been previously placed on the market within the EU. If you are importing it into the EU for the first time then CE marking applies. Where equipment is refurbished in accordance with the original specification the requirements for second hand equipment apply. If however the refurbishment incorporates updates or upgrades such as different types of components the equipment is subject to CE marking and must be re-assessed.
