Right for repair regulation?

<< < (3/3)

Yeah. I agree with you. It better available in mouser etc. Than not available at all. So, good luck for your voice :D. Just kidding. Actually, are we have power to tell the policy maker. Maybe we can discuss what should present in a ewaste regulation related with ecodesign or repairability

Another option would just be to insist products are sold with longer warranties.

For things that are easily damaged (water, physical impact, etc.) two years is fine as the majority of failures in that time will be due to external events.  For products which are installed and expected to last some time in one location, like televisions, appliances, home entertainment (games consoles) and so on, perhaps the mandatory warranty should be five years? 

That means the manufacturer has to keep enough parts to maintain their "fleet", or suffer with having to refund customers or supply customers with a replacement product.
