Obsolescence Policy

Andor is committed to providing leading edge products to our customers, and as such invests considerable time to provide a range of high quality, high functionality products.

Product obsolescence is the "end of life" or the sixth and final stage of the product life cycle. Our policy is to provide a “Notice of Discontinuance” which provides customers with up to six (6) months for last time orders. The product is then “Discontinued” and there is up to an additional six (6) months for last time shipments prior to “Obsolescence”.

Andor’s “Product Obsolescence Policy” outlines how Andor will provide support for products that have become obsolete.Products may become obsolete due to the introduction of newer products and technologies (Technical Obsolescence), due to the lack of availability of parts or the use of parts which no longer comply with regulatory guidelines (Component Obsolescence), or a reduction in market demand (Economic Obsolescence).Given the range of Andor’s products and its drive to always provide the best leading edge solution, obsolescence allows Andor to free resources to work on new projects, safe in the knowledge that our customers have a suitable, high quality product range.
