A New Era For Refurbished Products

The Regulation on Refurbished Products (“Regulation”), published in the Official Gazette dated 27 June 2026 and numbered 33293, entered into force on 1 August 2026. The Regulation repealed the Regulation on the Sale of Refurbished Products, which had constituted the main regulatory framework for the refurbished products market since 22 August 2020, and substantially reorganized the system governing the refurbishment, certification and sale of refurbished products.

While essentially retaining the system of refurbishment centers and authorized sellers established under the previous regulation, the new Regulation introduces significant changes, including the expansion of consumers’ right of withdrawal, the introduction of the Refurbished Product Information System (“YÜBİS”), the expansion of the range of products eligible for refurbishment and stricter requirements for refurbishment centers.
