The goal of the "Right to Repair" framework for the electronics and mobile industries is to give customers more options for fixing their gadgets and extending their lives. Usually, this initiative entails actions like:
Access to Spare components: Manufacturers are required to provide consumers and independent repair businesses with replacement components.
Repair Manuals and Tools: Offering technicians and customers alike comprehensive repair manuals and specialized tools.
Encouraging or mandating product designers to create designs that make things easy to upgrade and repair is known as "design for repairability."
Ensuring that repairs performed by independent or authorized professionals do not breach warranties is known as warranty protection.
By encouraging repairs rather than replacements, this framework seeks to empower consumers, lessen the amount of trash generated by electronics, and advance sustainability.
