The creation of products that can be repaired, and reduce prices for sustainable products is widely supported by European, American and Chinese respondents in the 2020-21 European Investment Bank Climate Survey.

Repairability is a measure of the degree to and ease with which a product can be repaired and maintained, usually by end consumers. Repairable products are put in contrast to obsolescence or products designed with planned obsolescence.

Repairability index[]

Some private organizations and companies, mostly affiliated with the right to repair movement, assign repairability scores to products as a way of communicating to consumers how easy the product is to repair.

Since 2021 all electronics devices sold in France have been required to report a repairability index (French: Indice de réparabilité) which rates how repairable the product is on a scale from 0 to 10.^[1] Products are evaluated on 5 key areas: documentation, disassembly, spare parts availability, spare part pricing, and product specifics.
