- Romania is proposing a law to introduce a mandatory repairability index label for certain electrical and household appliances.
- The label, rated from 1 to 10, will inform consumers about how easily a product can be repaired and must be displayed both in stores and online.
- The measure targets manufacturers, importers, and some retailers, initially covering products like washing machines, dishwashers, TVs, refrigerators, heating systems, air conditioners, vacuum cleaners, and electric lawnmowers.
- The index will be based on criteria such as spare parts availability, ease of disassembly, technical documentation, and repair services, aiming to increase repair rates to at least 60% by July 31, 2030.
- The proposal is still under discussion and has not been formally adopted, with no set implementation date yet.
