All equipment must be tested fully functional prior to shipment
An premise supporting shipments for maintenance, repair, or refurbishment on the condition that the equipment to be shipped is tested as fully functional before transboundary movement occurs.
“Used equipment would normally be considered waste if: a) It is not tested or fails tests for full functionality of all primary functions and for safety.”

From p. 8 of BAN response to Basel Secretariat. 2010. ‘Draft Technical Guidelines on Transboundary Movement of E-Waste, in Particular Regarding the Distinction between Waste and Non-Waste (Version 22 September 2010)’. http://www.basel.int/Implementation/Ewaste/TechnicalGuidelines/DevelopmentofTGs/tabid/2377/Default.aspx.
