The right to repair is an important approach to prolonging the use phase of products. As a measure to save resources the repair of defective goods is promoted by the European Directive (EU) 2024/1799 on common rules promoting the repair of goods. This directive obliges manufacturers to repair and establishes the right to repair for consumers. tekom and iFixit have prepared a joint whitepaper on what Directive (EU) 2024/1799 enables and how it relates to other European Union legal acts such as the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 and product-specific regulations setting repair requirements. The whitepaper elaborates on aspects of Directive (EU) 2024/1799 important to know for technical writers and managers and addresses considerations for technical writers, managers or other persons in charge of information for use when preparing repair information.
