Interest in green construction practices continues to increase, spurred by concerns about the environment and current economic conditions. One aspect of green construction practices involves recycling used equipment, including various degrees of rebuilding, remanufacturing, refurbishing, repairing or reconditioning of equipment.
The result is commonly referred to as a “rebuilt” product. To be viable, green construction practices need to be sustainable, but they cannot undermine the fundamental levels established for public safety.
The UL Listing Mark on a newly manufactured piece of equipment is an indication that the product complies with nationally recognized safety requirements when the product was shipped from the factory, and that it is suitable for installation and use in accordance with specific model codes. However, if a product is rebuilt, UL cannot confirm that it continues to comply with appropriate safety requirements without additional investigation.
