Understanding condition grades
3 min read
Condition grades help buyers understand what to expect from equipment before making a purchasing decision. New Spare generally refers to unused items, while Refurbished equipment has undergone work intended to restore it for further use. Tested equipment has been checked for relevant condition or function, while Recovered (As-Is) equipment is supplied in its existing recovered state. The right choice depends on the application, condition requirements, documentation and intended use.
