The Regulation on Sale of Refurbished Products (the "Regulation") concerns procedural and substantive rules for the renewal and resale of the products enumerated in the list enclosed thereto. The list is currently minimal, only comprised of cell phones and tablets. The Consumer Protection Law no. 6502 ("Consumer Protection Law") was amended on 24.03.2022 to be effective as of 01.10.2022 in order to offer a statutory foundation for this Regulation.

Although the Regulation relies on the Consumer Protection Law, this refurbishment process is closely linked to the producers' liability as regulated under the Law no 7223 on Product Safety and Technical Regulations ("Product Safety Law"). This link has gotten denser with the recent amendment to the Consumer Protection Law. The amendment will likely lead various products to be put on the list enclosed to the Regulation.
