Need some guidance regarding legally refurbishing a non-RoHS instrument in the EU and then to place it back in EU market for re-sale. The refurbishment is not to make it RoHS compliant. Any guidance document available in specific about the REFURBISHED MEDICAL DEVICE.

Thanks.

By "non-RoHS" do you mean the regulation doesn't apply to it or that it applies but the device just doesn't comply?

In general, refurbished devices (in the true sense of the term) are considered new, so if the regulation applies to that kind of device I don't see how you could legally place it on the EU market without it being compliant, post-refurbishment.
