EU member states and the European Commission agreed today on new ecodesign requirements for smartphones, tablets, mobile phones and cordless phones. For the first time, manufacturers of these products are now required to provide certain spare parts, repair information and software updates. The German government, under the lead responsibility of the Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) and supported by the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection (BMUV), had repeatedly pushed for ambitious targets during the negotiations.
Federal Minister for Economic Affairs Robert Habeck commented: "The negotiations have been a great success and another step towards a more circular economy in keeping with the coalition agreement. The new regulations will make it easier to repair and refurbish smartphones and tablets, thereby extending their service lives. At the same time, with the future product requirements we have struck a good balance between the interests of industry and of climate action."
Federal Environment Minister Steffi Lemke remarked: "Mass-produced products such as smartphones and tablets will have to be easier to repair in future, making them more durable. This is a big step towards the right to repair. No one should have to throw away a mobile phone anymore because a defective battery cannot be removed. The new regulations will help save resources and lay the foundation for the sustainable use of electrical appliances in the European Union. This is another step away from a disposable society."
The new ecodesign requirements, which cover smartphones, tablets, mobile phones and cordless phones, stipulate for the first time that it must be possible to repair these products and that spare parts must be available. For example, manufacturers must provide repair information and certain spare parts, such as displays and batteries, for 7 years. In addition, manufacturers must design products to ensure that components can be replaced more easily in future. This will facilitate the repair and reuse of used devices and increase recycling and resource efficiency. In addition, manufacturers will be expected to provide software updates for 5 years. However, these software updates may not reduce the performance. Furthermore, the new regulation will strengthen the rights of companies that professionally refurbish smartphones and tablets.
According to the European Commission, the new Ecodesign Regulation, together with the future Energy Label Regulation, will reduce the primary energy consumed by the products in question by 13.9 TWh across the EU in 2030. The new requirements will come into force next year after they are adopted by the European Commission and will apply to all devices sold in the EU after a transition period of 21 months.
On 31 August, the first EU Ecodesign and Energy Labelling rules on mobile phones and tablets were published in the Official Journal of the European Union. By June 2025, these products will have to be designed to be longer lasting and more repairable, marking a new era for the sustainability of electronic products.
These regulations will empower independent repairers and end-users by ensuring access to spare parts and to the information necessary to repair for at least 7 years after the end of the distribution of a product in the market. Additionally, manufacturers will have to make compatible software updates available for at least 5 years.
On reliability, smartphones will have to withstand at least 45 accidental drops without functional impairment and maintain at least 80% of their battery capacity after undergoing 800 charging cycles. Tablets are to follow the same rules, but only for their battery capacity.
Consumers will also benefit from better access to information about the overall repairability of smartphones thanks to a repair index. Following the French experiment where repairability indexes have been in place since 2021 for several categories of electronic devices (including smartphones), this will be the first time such a measure is taken at EU level. Electronic displays and washing machines are also currently being considered by the European Commission for similar rules.
These regulations are a big step for the ecodesign of smartphones and tablets and of ICT products in general. They set good practices that are fundamental to ensure a universal right to repair, and we are looking forward to seeing how the regulated products will be designed. Nonetheless, this is just the beginning, and there is still significant progress to be made.
For example, the affordability of repair is not tackled as the price of spare parts is neither limited nor considered in the calculation of the repair index. Given that the price of repair is one of the main factors that influences the choice of end-users to repair a product or not, it is regrettable that manufacturers will only have to indicate the pre-tax prices of the spare parts, prices to which manufacturers will not have to commit.
Furthermore, the text poorly tackles the matter of part-pairing, one of the main barriers to repairing products for end-users and independent repairers. Professional repairers will have access to information and tools to substitute and repair serialised parts, which is a significant win. However, an outright ban of part-pairing would have been a more fundamental step towards a universal right to repair, and we regret that the opportunity was not seized.
Finally, we believe the legislation could have gone further in terms of facilitating self-repair. Manufacturers will still have the option not to provide spare batteries to end-users, under the condition that they respect certain longevity and waterproofness requirements. This creates a false dichotomy between repairability and durability, especially given that a number of waterproof electronic products with replaceable batteries (including smartphones) are already on the market. We also regret the significantly limited number of spare parts available to end-users, as compared to the list that concerns professional repairers.
The Right to Repair Europe coalition will keep on pushing for a universal right to repair, and we consider these regulations as a victory for the environment and all repair professionals and enthusiasts. We hope to replicate what we have accomplished with these regulations, bringing new ecodesign requirements for other categories of electronics.
The new ESPR regulation has the potential to cover nearly all product groups and to tackle environmental impacts from manufacturing to end-of-life. However to which extent it will concretely address reparability, durability, and premature obsolescence is still to be determined in secondary legislation.
