Repararea devine o alegere tot mai accesibilă în UE. 🔧
Noile reguli privind „dreptul la reparație” încurajează prelungirea duratei de viață a produselor, reduc cantitatea de deșeuri și susțin tranziția către o economie circulară. Un pas important spre un consum mai responsabil.
Repair more. Waste less. Keep products in use for longer. ♻️🔧
From 31 July, new EU right-to-repair rules start applying, making it easier for consumers to choose repair and extend the life of their products.
For products covered by EU reparability requirements — such as smartphones, tablets, fridges and washing machines — the new rules mean:
🟢 manufacturers must offer repairs within a reasonable time and at a reasonable price
🟢 consumers will have easier access to information about repair services and indicative prices
🟢 when manufacturers offer spare parts, these should be available at reasonable prices
🟢 consumers who choose repair instead of replacement under the legal guarantee will benefit from an additional year of guarantee for products bought from 31 July 2026.
Making repair easier helps products stay in use for longer, reduces waste, saves resources and supports a more circular economy in the EU.
It also complements the EU’s wider work on ecodesign and more sustainable products, including under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation, where horizontal ecodesign requirements on product repairability are planned for Q2 2027.
