NEW SURPLUS: These products are classified as new and unused, meaning they have not been installed or placed into service. However, they may come without traceability or original manufacturer certifications, which might be required for certain high-level regulatory uses. Our company provides its own Certificate of Conformance (CoC) as a statement of assurance that the product is in good condition and has been sourced through reliable channels. These are ideal when the focus is on cost-effectiveness without compromising on quality.
