„Repairability Score (Indice de Réparabilité)"
Art. L541-9-2 Code de l'environnement (France), (EU) 2024/1799 (R2R Directive)
What does it mean?
The "Repairability Score" (French: Indice de Réparabilité) is an index that evaluates the repairability of a product. Originally introduced in France (Art. L541-9-2 Code de l'environnement), it will become mandatory EU-wide from 2027 for certain product groups under the "Right to Repair" Directive (EU) 2024/1799. The Directive aims to extend the lifespan of products and reduce electronic waste. As the score represents essential information about environmental compatibility, the absence or misleading disclosure of the repairability score falls under UWG § 5b as withheld information. A substantiated disclosure of the score, based on the criteria of the EU Directive, is therefore essential to avoid warnings.
