The EU is putting repairability rating labels on phones and tablets in June


The EU is mandating new labels on smartphones and tablets that indicate how repairable the device is. These will start appearing in June.

There will be letter grades for durability and repairability, in addition to an IP rating for dust and water-resistance. Covered products also include cordless landline phones, but smartphones with rollable displays are exempted. Other ecodesign requirements include batteries that retain at least 80 percent of their capacity after 800 charging cycles and scratch and drop protections that exceed minimum standards.
