EU Right to Repair Directive
What EU Right to Repair Directive Covers
The EU Right to Repair Directive guarantees consumers the ability to repair defective products easily and affordably, mandating manufacturer transparency regarding spare parts and repair manuals.
The EU Right to Repair Directive (R2R) fundamentally changes the post-sales obligations of consumer goods manufacturers. Designed to combat premature obsolescence and reduce e-waste, the directive requires manufacturers of smartphones, washing machines, vacuums, and other consumer appliances to repair goods even outside the legal guarantee period. Manufacturers are strictly prohibited from using hardware or software locks (serialization) to prevent independent repair shops or consumers from fixing their own devices.
One of the most immediate administrative burdens for manufacturers is the European Repair Information Form (ERIF). Upon a consumer's request, a manufacturer or repairer must provide this standardized form detailing the exact conditions of the repair—including binding price estimates, the time needed, and the availability of replacement machines. Furthermore, companies must transparently publish how long spare parts will remain available and provide open access to diagnostic tools and technical manuals.
Sustalium simplifies this new consumer obligation. By linking directly to your existing Circularity Declarations, the platform helps you host your technical manuals and spare parts catalogs in one accessible location. When a consumer requests repair data, Sustalium acts as a generator for the standardized European Repair Information Form, auto-populating your SLA data, pricing structures, and parts availability timelines. You can link this data directly to the product via QR code, ensuring full transparency and immediate compliance with EU consumer protection authorities.
