Technical Barriers to Trade G/TBT/N/FRA/197 France 2020 Waste management and recycling Technical regulation or specifications Manufacturing
Environment related objective
From an environmental standpoint, this measure will allow France to pursue its national objective of reducing the resource consumption linked to French consumption: to reduce resource consumption relative to GDP by 30% compared to 2010, by 2030 (Law No 2015-992) . More repairable and therefore more durable products will effectively lead to a reduction in resource consumption (reduction in the need for new products), a reduction in the quantity of waste electrical and electronic products and an associated reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
Measure description Coverage of the measure
Order regarding the criteria, sub-criteria and scoring system for calculating and displaying the repairability index of front-loading household washing machines.

The repairability index consists of a score out of 10 intended to be displayed at the time of purchase to inform consumers of the categories of electrical and electronic products. This score is obtained by dividing an overall score of 100 points by 10 according to five criteria, each scored out of 20 and of equal weight, making it possible to assess the repairability of the products concerned. These criteria are as follows: documentation provided by the manufacturer, ease of disassembly of the product, availability of spare parts, relationship between the price of the most expensive spare part and the price of the original product, usage counter (optional) or other criteria specific to the category of products concerned.
This Order applies to front-loading household washing machines falling within the scope of Regulation (EU) 2019/2023 laying down ecodesign requirements for household washing machines and household washer-dryers.
