GB/T 45084-2024Technical specification for trading and traceability of reused and remanufactured parts of end-of-life vehicles (English PDF)

1 Scope

GB/T 45084-2024 is the companion to the reused parts specification, covering the trading and traceability of reused and remanufactured parts from end-of-life vehicles. Traceability is what separates a legitimate reuse market from a channel for stolen and counterfeit parts, and it is the condition on which the Chinese authorities permitted the trade: every part must be traceable to a lawfully dismantled vehicle and to the enterprise that recovered it. The standard sets the requirements on the identification of a part and the code it carries, the information that must be recorded at each stage, dismantling, inspection, reconditioning or remanufacture, storage, sale and installation, the platform on which the records are held and the data exchanged between the participants, the requirements on the trading process itself including the disclosure to the buyer, the verification of a part's record, and the handling of returns, recalls and irregularities. It takes effect on 1 June 2025.

This document specifies the trading entities and paths, transaction management, traceability entities and processes, traceability information and traceability information system requirements for reused and remanufactured parts of end-of-life vehicles, and describes the verification methods for transaction and traceability-related requirements for reused and remanufactured parts of end-of-life vehicles. This document applies to the transaction and traceability of reused and remanufactured parts of end-of-life vehicles.

3.3 remanufactured part The products that are made of remanufacturable parts, which have been restored to their original technical performance and product quality after a series of remanufacturing processes. NOTE: "Remanufactured parts" are also called "remanufactured products". [Source: GB/T 39895-2021, 3.1, modified]

3.4 reused parts service enterprise An organization that is engaged in the sale and after-sales service of reused parts and has technical service capabilities such as secondary removal, cleaning, and testing. [Source: GB/T 44728-2024, 3.2]

3.5 remanufacturing reverse logistics recovery enterprise An organization that is engaged in the recovery, removal, cleaning, testing, sales, and other operating activities of remanufacturable parts.

4.4 Remanufacturing reverse logistics recovery enterprises shall have the technical equipment and capabilities for disassembly, cleaning and product quality testing of used automobile parts, and the ability to test the performance of remanufactured parts.

4.5 Auto parts remanufacturing enterprises shall comply with the requirements of GB/T 33221, and the remanufacturing process shall comply with the requirements of GB/T 33947. They shall have the technical equipment and capabilities for disassembly, cleaning, and product quality testing of used auto parts, shall have the ability to test the performance of remanufactured parts, and shall establish and implement technical quality standards and production specifications for remanufactured parts.

4.6 Sales organizations shall have the ability to store, sell, and provide after-sales services for reused and remanufactured parts. Sales organizations include auto repair shops, auto parts sellers, auto dealers, auto after-sales service providers, and self-built sales organizations of ELV collecting and dismantling enterprises, reused parts service enterprises, and auto parts remanufacturing enterprises.

4.7 ELV collecting and dismantling enterprises and reused parts service enterprises are the producers of reused parts and are responsible for the quality of reused parts; automobile parts remanufacturing enterprises are the producers of remanufactured parts and are responsible for the quality of remanufactured parts.

4.8 Trading entities (excluding consumers) shall establish a record of the storage and sales of end-of-life vehicle parts and components, and truthfully record the source, quantity, model, flow direction and other information of the reused, remanufacturable, or remanufactured parts of end-of-life vehicles.

6 Traceability entities and processes

6.1 The entities involved in the traceability of reused parts transactions include but are not limited to ELV collecting and dismantling enterprises, reused parts service enterprises, sales organizations, and consumers. The traceability process of reused parts transactions is shown in Figure 2. responsible for the organization and implementation of the traceability work, and shall be equipped with special equipment and information systems such as information collection, output, reading and writing equipment necessary for the traceability work.

6.4 The traceability entity shall provide a unique traceability code for the reused and remanufactured parts sold.

7 Traceability information

7.1 Traceability information shall be searchable through traceability codes. The traceability code coding rules and traceability code labeling of reused parts shall comply with the requirements of GB/T 44728; the coding rules and traceability code labeling of remanufactured parts shall comply with the requirements of GB/T 32007.

7.2 Traceability information shall include but not be limited to entity information, production information, logistics information, product information and sales information.
