Understanding Repairability
Ease of repair without specialized tools.
Serviceability
What It Measures
Repairability measures how easily a product can be diagnosed, disassembled, and repaired by the owner or a local repair shop. We consider tool requirements, documentation availability, and repair complexity.
Why It Matters for BIFL
A repairable product can survive failures that would end the life of a non-repairable one. The EU Right to Repair movement has shown that repairability is now a consumer expectation, not a luxury.
How We Score
Based on iFixit-style teardown analysis, tool requirements, availability of repair guides, and use of standard fasteners vs. proprietary ones.
Historical Context
France introduced the world's first repairability index in 2021. The EU's Right to Repair Directive (2023) requires manufacturers to make products repairable for at least 10 years.
