The Repairability Index is a tool implemented by the French government as part of the anti-waste law for a circular economy. It was introduced in 2021 to allow manufacturers of electronic devices and household appliances to calculate the repairability rating of their products. The objective of the index is to encourage consumers to choose more repairable products, and manufacturers to improve the repairability of their products. It applies to 5 categories of products sold in France after 1 January 2021 including: Smartphones, Laptops, Televisions, Washing machines, and Lawnmowers. The index assesses 5 criteria: 1. Documentation 2. Disassembly 3. Availability of spare parts 4. Price of spare parts 5. Product-specific aspects Each criterion is scored on 20 points and each number is then compiled into an aggregate score out of 100, which is then divided by 10 and rounded to 1 decimal digit to make the final grade. The manufacturer computes the index by entering all the parameters in a spreadsheet provided by the Ministry of Environment. The (real) Digital Product Passport will also have a section on repairability.
