  • The EU established new right-to-repair rules that extend repair protection for consumers.
  • This strengthens the current consumer protections in the EU and makes repairs easier and cheaper.
  • EU members will have two years to implement the new rules into law following formal approval.

The EU officially adopted new rules to make repairing consumer goods, including smartphone repairs, more accessible and cheaper for users.

This includes several new mandates, including requiring companies to repair devices even after the warranty period expires at a reasonable price.
