Summary of change
ICBC has updated it's requirements for recycled parts to work with suppliers to maximize the number of insurance-quality parts available for claims. The requirement to have a "same year or newer" part installed in a vehicle has been removed.
In line with this update, all parts submitted for consideration must meet standards set out by Automotive Recyclers Association (a-r-a.org) standard grading. ICBC only allows the highest quality parts (grade "A") and require that all approved auto recyclers offer warranties for recycled parts.
