5. Decree on the conditions of use of the terms ‘reconditioned’ and ‘reconditioned product’

6. Reconditioned products

7. -

8. This Decree determines the conditions governing the application of Article L122-21-1 of the Consumer Code, which provides a legal framework for the use of the terms ‘reconditioned’ and ‘reconditioned product’. As such, it reserves the use of these terms for second-hand products and specifies the conditions under which they may be used, with regard to the performance of tests and the requirement of one or more technical interventions, to ensure the safety and functionality of the product. The intervention(s) carried out on the product constitute an essential characteristic of the product. Furthermore, in order to prevent consumers from being misled as to the characteristics of a reconditioned product, this Decree prohibits any reference to a new product and reserves the use of the words ‘reconditioned in France’ for reconditioning operations that are carried out entirely on national territory. These rules also apply to spare parts.

9. This is the Implementing Decree for Article 37 of Law No 2020-105 of 10 February 2020 on the fight against waste and for the circular economy, provided for by this text. This Article leaves to a decree the task of establishing the conditions under which a professional can use the terms ‘reconditioned’ or ‘reconditioned product’. This provision was introduced into law in order to protect the consumer from operators who offer reconditioned products without having performed the necessary tests to verify that the product is in working order and does not pose any safety problems. This consumer protection is all the more necessary as the market for reconditioned products is developing significantly, given that these products are less expensive than new products. The development of the market for reconditioned products, which protect the environment, must guarantee consumer rights. That is the purpose of the Decree.
