(a) Any used or secondhand material, including any fitting, device, appliance, apparatus, or other equipment reinstalled for electric wiring shall comply with the following provisions:



1. All such equipment shall be in good, satisfactory and durable condition, and adequate and satisfactory for the purpose intended or used, all of the foregoing to be determined by the Department. Such equipment must also comply with all requirements of Division 4 regarding approval.



2. No used or secondhand insulated conductors shall be used for services or for circuits operating at more than 250 volts.



3. No used, reconditioned, or refurbished molded or electronic trip molded case circuit breakers. (Added by Ord. No. 182,851, Eff. 1/3/14.)

so if in the course of working on a panel board you remove a CB you are required to replace it with a new one? That is nuts.

Yeah , They are not the only ones.
