Publishing information

This part of BS 8887 is published by BSI Standards Limited, under licence from The British Standards Institution, and came into effect on 31 December 2024. It was prepared by Subcommittee TPR/1/7, BS 8887 Design for MADE, under the authority of Technical Committee TPR/1, Technical Product Realization. A list of organizations represented on these committees can be obtained on request to the committee manager.

Relationship with other publications

This part of BS 8887 is intended to be read in conjunction with:

BS ISO 8887‑1: specifies the requirements for preparation, content and structure of design output and the preparation of technical product documentation in the MADE process;
BS ISO 8887‑2: defines terms used in design for manufacture, assembly, disassembly, end‐of‐life processing (MADE); and
BS 8887‑3: introduces sustainable design principles into product development.

Use of this document

As a code of practice, this British Standard takes the form of recommendations and guidance. It is not to be quoted as if it were a specification. Users are expected to ensure that claims of compliance are not misleading.

Users may substitute any of the recommendations in this British Standard with practices of equivalent or better outcome. Any user claiming compliance with this British Standard is expected to be able to justify any course of action that deviates from its recommendations.

Presentational conventions

The provisions of this document are presented in roman (i.e. upright) type. Its recommendations are expressed in sentences in which the principal auxiliary verb is “should”.

Commentary, explanation and general informative material is presented in smaller italic type, and does not constitute a normative element.

The word “should” is used to express recommendations of this document. The word “may” is used in the text to express permissibility, e.g. as an alternative to the primary recommendation of the clause. The word “can” is used to express possibility, e.g. a consequence of an action or an event.

Notes and commentaries are provided throughout the text of this document. Notes give references and additional information that are important but do not form part of the recommendations. Commentaries give background information.

Where words have alternative spellings, the preferred spelling of the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary is used (e.g. “organization” rather than “organisation”).

Introduction

The aim of this part of BS 8887 is to give the lighting sector the terminology and processes required to specify, plan and conduct work on luminaires beyond initial production and installation, apart from that of regular maintenance. It provides clarity on the process involved in remanufacturing luminaires, regardless of their original light-source technology.

Remanufacture can be conducted in situ or in an industrial environment, and luminaires range from being unused through to used luminaires being sold to a second or third user in the product life cycle, as described in Annex A and Annex B. Remanufactured luminaires might meet their original design intent and specification or be significantly altered in response to changed technology or requirements.

This document provides a framework for the remanufacturing of luminaires, while providing confidence to the purchaser/end‐user of the remanufactured equipment that the remanufacturing meets accepted industry norms. Annex C provides an overview of remanufacture of luminaires process.

Remanufacturing is an important process in the Circular Economy. Keeping luminaires or components in use for longer has significant potential benefits, including reducing the amount of equipment being sent for recycling or landfill, in turn reducing demand for virgin materials and energy and resource expenditure during production, and hence, reducing embodied carbon.

1 Scope

This part of BS 8887 specifies the process of remanufacturing luminaires (regardless of their original light-source technology) within the framework of manufacture, assembly, disassembly and end-of-life processing (MADE). It emphasizes the need for remanufactured luminaires to be supported by robust technical documentation, testing and conformity assessment.

This part of BS 8887 covers disassembly and end-of-life processing, following which, luminaires and/or components might be returned to use for a subsequent life cycle.

This part of BS 8887 does not cover maintenance or luminaires for use in explosive atmospheres.

This part of BS 8887 is intended to be used by the stakeholders involved at any stage of the remanufacturing process, including end users.

6 Scope of works

The work to be carried out during remanufacturing should be defined in a scope of works, against which the outcome of the remanufacturing project is evaluated.

NOTE 1 For further information regarding the scope of works see Annex E.

The scope of works should be agreed prior to remanufacturing and should be developed following a preliminary assessment.

The remanufacturer should confirm desired luminaire characteristics with the internal specifier or external user/client, drawing particular attention to modifications made to the original installation/luminaire.

NOTE 2 The scope of works might be an internal document where a luminaire is to be remanufactured to stock and/or placed on the open market, rather than for a specific end user. Alternatively, the scope of works might form part of external contract documentation where a third‐party user/client is involved. In the case of a CR-OEM arrangement, the scope of works is agreed between the CR and OEM.

The remanufacturer should perform a risk assessment to determine the viability of the project during the creation of the scope of works.

NOTE 3 For further information on the risk assessment, see Annex D.

The scope of works should clearly state testing requirements.

NOTE 4 For same site remanufacturing projects, photometric testing requirements for each luminaire type(s) are specified in the scope of works. Regardless of the remanufacturing arrangement, the remanufacturer is clear about level of photometric testing conducted.

The scope of works should detail the de-installation and logistical arrangements, if applicable.

NOTE 5 For further information regarding the de-installation, packing and transport of luminaires, see Annex F.

Where remanufacturing is undertaken on behalf of an external user/client, all parties should approve the scope of works, including all modifications made to the luminaire(s), before any work is undertaken.

Following remanufacturing, the remanufacturer should verify the luminaire(s) meets the outcome criteria specified within the scope of works.

NOTE 6 The remanufacturer can provide evidence to the end user that the outcome criteria have been met.
