Union harmonisation legislation applies to products outside the Union when they are made available on the Union market for the first time; not only to newly manufactured products but also to used and second-hand products, including products resulting from the preparation for re-use of electrical or electronic waste, but not to such products already on the EU market. It applies even to used and second-hand products imported from a third country that were manufactured before the Union harmonisation legislation became applicable.
