After the European Union has voted in favor of consumers’ right to repair, France will be the first to bring this new legislation to the users in a publicly enlightening way , and that is that all devices that are on sale from January 2021 in France must carry a repairability note.

This system reminds us quite of what iFixit does in its disassemblies , showing the world how different electronic devices are disassembled, something that usually arrives at the launch of the same, and giving them a note depending on how difficult it is to disassemble and repair.
