Türkiye - Regulation on Refurbished Products

​The Turkish Ministry of Trade published a Regulation on Refurbished Products, published on June 27, 2026 and effective from August 1, 2026, establishes comprehensive rules for the refurbishment and resale of certain used electronics, including smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, computers, game consoles, modems, and televisions.

It requires all refurbishment activities to be carried out by licensed refurbishment centers through the government’s YÜBİS system, with mandatory certification, consumer disclosure, labeling, recordkeeping, and compliance with technical standards. 

The regulation strengthens consumer protection by granting a 14-day withdrawal right for non-distance sales, requiring at least a one-year warranty on refurbished products, and imposing strict accountability on refurbishment centers, on-site refurbishment points, and authorized sellers.
