Check your electrical household appliances for repairability

Certain electrical household appliances must be able to be repaired within a reasonable period even after the end of the minimum warranty period. In future, this requirement will be extended to other product groups in the household appliances sector.

Manufacturers who pay attention to a repair-friendly design at an early stage can benefit from good repairability - by testing for repairability and specifying a repairability index. In this way, you can show the growing target group of environmentally and price-conscious consumers and commercial buyers that your product can be repaired well and efficiently and that they are making a sustainable purchasing decision.
