WEBINAR | BS8887: A game changing code of practice for remanufacturing
The newly published code of practice for remanufacture of lighting is expected to create a level playing field and to put it on a more formal and recognised footing.
Kevin Stubbs, a member of the BSI TPR/1/7/4 BS8887 committee, walks us through the final version and Simon Fisher, looks at its implications and impact on the growing remanufacturing sector in the lighting industry.
Speakers: Simon Fisher, F Mark, Kevin Stubbs, Nigel Harvey, CEO, Recolight Chairman: Ray Molony, Editor, Circular Lighting Report.
Key takeaways from our panel….
The new BSI code of practice gives both end users and remanufacturers the confidence that remanufactured product can be compliant and fit for purpose. That creates growing opportunities for those companies willing to get involved early. Nigel Harvey
The specification was developed over several years, including representatives from lighting manufacturers, luminaire designers, lighting designers, the Lighting Industry Association, and Recolight.
BS8887 is hugely to be welcomed as it codifies and validates the growing remanufacturing sector in lighting. Ray Molony
Remanufacturing will play a key role in carbon reduction and waste mitigation. It will not and should not replace new luminaires and all the innovation and best practice that will be embedded in new product design meant and Ecodesign. But, BS8887-221 will help to guide consistence and confidence in the process of remanufacturing, which should be embraced by manufacturers, end users and specifiers alike. Simon Fisher
Anyone involved in the process of remanufacturing should be aware of and follow the guidance of BS8887-221
- All scales and types of projects can be remanufactured within the guidance of this standard
- The scope of works must be developed and agreed by all parties and will require a survey needing skilled understanding of the practicalities and viability of remanufacturing.
