1 Scope
This part of BS 8887 specifies the process for reworking and remarketing used computing hardware by the following categories of organizations.
-
a) OEMs (tier 1).
-
b) OEM-contracted and authorized service providers (tier 2).
-
c) Independent remarketing companies and service providers.
NOTE 1 A remarketed product can also be sold direct by the original or current user to a new user, generally
with no reworking, or assurances or warranty offered. Such arrangements are not within
the scope of this part of BS 8887.
NOTE 2 There might be differences between each tier in the levels of expertise, capability
and available resources, so the tier through which a used product is returned and processed can affect the category of remarketing and depth of reworking
required.
This part of BS 8887 is applicable to the reworking and remarketing of hardware and, where relevant, the
operating system software and firmware, but does not apply to application software
or personal productivity tools.
It is intended to be used in conjunction with BS 8887‑1, BS 8887‑2, BS 8887‑220, BS 8887‑240 and PAS 141.
