What are remanufactured parts?

Remanufacturing is defined as:

"Returning a used product to at least its original performance, with a warranty that is equivalent or better than that of the newly manufactured product"

Explanatory notes:

From a customer viewpoint, the remanufactured product can be considered to be the same as the new product
Remanufacturing may not use repaired or reconditioned parts
Remanufacturing involves dismantling the product, the restoration and replacement of components and testing of the individual parts and whole product to ensure that it is within its original design specifications
Performance after remanufacture is expected to be at least to the original performance specification, and any subsequent warranty is generally at least equal to that of a new product

Remanufacturing is not to be confused with, and is NOT:

Reconditioning – Returning a used product to a satisfactory working condition by rebuilding or repairing major components that are close to failure, even when there are no reported or apparent faults in those components; with the important rider that any subsequent warranty is generally less than new or remanufactured product, but the warranty is likely to cover the whole product (unlike repair); reconditioned products do not require a warranty equivalent to that of a newly manufactured equivalent. Accordingly, the performance may be less than 'As – New'
Repair – Returning a faulty or broken product or component back to a usable state; with the important rider that any subsequent warranty is generally less than that of newly manufactured, remanufactured or reconditioned equivalents and may only apply to the component that has been replaced or repaired
Reuse – Operation by which a product or its components are used for the same purpose at the end of its current life
Repurposing – Utilising a product or its components in a role that it was not originally designed to perform
