Standard Practice for Cannibalization/Reclamation of Serviceable Equipment Components to Support Demand Requirements
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
4.1 This practice establishes a standard control methodology to aid in fulfillment of shortages derived from production requirements or equipment failures.
4.2 This practice encourages an inclusive understanding and communication of the control and tracking of assets, and enables meaningful discussion between parties with interest in the asset.
4.3 This practice is intended to foster and enable additional standard practices related to or based on these terms and concepts.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice covers the process by which open production and failure related demand requirements are fulfilled using existing equipment components.
Note 1: Differing approval requirements are generally dictated by ownership issues. For example, approvals for cannibalization/reclamation of company-owned property assets may vary substantially from that required for customer-owned assets. In all cases, the specific approach to approvals and the levels of approval required are prescribed by the entity with title to/ownership of the asset. These requirements are internal to the owning entity. In general, company-owned assets are handled in accordance with established practice specific to each individual entity while customer-owned property is handled based upon established practices specific to each entity or as specified within a contractual document.
1.2 This practice is intended to be applicable and appropriate for all asset-holding entities.
1.3 This practice covers property assets categorized as equipment.
1.4 This practice can be applied to an individual asset, groupings of assets, or to all, or a subset of an entity’s assets.
1.5 This practice clarifies and enables effective and efficient support of assets in accordance with the provisions of Practice E2279.
1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.7 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

Overview
ASTM E2607-21: Standard Practice for Cannibalization/Reclamation of Serviceable Equipment Components to Support Demand Requirements provides essential guidance for managing asset shortages due to production needs or equipment failures. This standard sets forth a uniform methodology for fulfilling demand requirements by reusing existing serviceable components from equipment assets. It promotes effective asset management through clear processes for component cannibalization and reclamation, supporting operational efficiency and communication among stakeholders.
ASTM E2607-21 is designed for application across organizations that own, manage, or are responsible for equipment assets. Its implementation contributes to asset optimization, cost savings, and extended equipment lifecycles, while ensuring all activities align with established policies, ownership rights, and regulatory requirements.
Key Topics
Cannibalization Process
- Steps for identifying and removing serviceable components from one item to repair another.
- Guidelines for urgent situations where regular parts are unavailable.
- Procedures for proper documentation, authorization, and updating inventory records.
Reclamation Process
- Removal and cataloging of usable parts from excess or decommissioned equipment for future use.
- Evaluation methods to determine potential supply sources from surplus assets.
- Policies for obtaining necessary approvals and maintaining accurate records.
Asset Control and Tracking
- Emphasis on thorough documentation and communication throughout cannibalization and reclamation activities.
- Ensures clear asset visibility, supports audits, and maintains compliance with asset management best practices.
Approval Requirements
- Differentiates process nuances based on equipment ownership, such as company-owned versus customer-owned assets.
- Stresses the need to follow organization-specific policies and contractual obligations.
Alignment with Asset Management Standards
- Integrates principles from related standards like ASTM E2279 for comprehensive property asset management.
Applications
The practical implementation of ASTM E2607-21 is valuable for:
Manufacturers and Maintenance Operations
- Addressing critical shortages where immediate repair is needed to avoid production downtime.
- Utilizing reclaimed components to minimize costs and lead times compared to new procurement.
Asset Managers and Facility Managers
- Enhancing inventory control and resource allocation through systematic tracking of cannibalized and reclaimed parts.
- Reducing excess inventory and maximizing the value of surplus assets.
Defense, Aerospace, and Utility Sectors
- Supporting mission-critical operations where availability of replacement parts is essential.
- Documenting asset condition codes and tracking component lifecycle for compliance and reliability.
Organizations with Distributed Assets
- Applying consistent policies across multiple locations or asset types to ensure effective asset utilization.
All users of this standard should adopt appropriate safety, health, and environmental procedures and ensure regulatory compliance. The standard acts as a foundational practice that may inspire the development of additional asset management standards.
