Criteria, sub-criteria and scoring system for calculating and displaying the repairability index of battery electric lawnmowers.
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. |

Consumer information symbols indicating the sorting rule for waste resulting from products subject to the principle of extended producer responsibility.
The notified Decree lays down the conditions governing the application of the legislative provisions of the Environmental Code aimed at ensuring that any product placed on the market for household use and subject to the principle of extended producer responsibility, excluding household glass drinks packaging, is labelled with a symbol informing the consumer that this product is subject to a sorting rule and with information specifying the methods for sorting or depositing waste resulting from the product. |

Decree relating to the energy and environmental performance requirements applicable to the construction of residential, office or primary or secondary education buildings in Metropolitan France: The notified draft Decree relating to the energy and environmental performance requirements applicable to the construction of residential, office or primary or secondary education buildings in Metropolitan France defines the indicators that are to provide the basis for regulatory requirements on energy and environmental performance applicable to new buildings for residential, office or primary or secondary education purposes. (...)
By signing the Paris Agreement in 2015, France made a firm commitment to the fight against climate change. This ambition was reaffirmed in the energy-climate Law, which provides for the achievement of carbon neutrality by 2050; improving the energy and environmental performance of new buildings is an important tool for the fulfilment of this objective. This requires reducing the energy needs of buildings, curbing the reliance on fossil or non-renewable energy, and lessening the impact of building components on climate change (which often account for more than 50% of the climate change impact of new buildings) . It is also considered necessary to improve indoor comfort during the summer period to ensure buildings remain comfortable in a warming climate, and to limit subsequent energy consumption for the purposes of cooling. The draft Decree seeks to translate the legislative requirements. |

It is also considered necessary to improve indoor comfort during the summer period to ensure buildings remain comfortable in a warming climate, and to limit subsequent energy consumption for the purposes of cooling. In order to quantify a building's energy and environmental performance, it must be possible to estimate its conventional energy consumption, climate change impact and indoor comfort in summer following standard rules for various construction projects. This is the purpose of the calculation method approved by the draft Order |

- The content of environmental declarations and developments in this respect; - Methods for assessing and calculating environmental declarations; - The requirement for notifying parties to make their environmental declaration available; (...) By signing the Paris Agreement in 2015, France made a firm commitment to the fight against climate change. This ambition was reaffirmed in the energy-climate law, which provides for the achievement of carbon neutrality by 2050; improving the energy and environmental performance of new buildings is an important tool for the fulfilment of this objective. Buildings, because of their energy consumption and also because of the way we build them, account for a significant part of greenhouse gas emissions in France. The 2020 environmental regulations (RE2020) will accelerate the decarbonization of this sector by impacting the construction phase, which, for a new, efficient building, accounts for between 60% and 90% of its total carbon impact. With the RE2020, the regulatory assessment of the environmental performance of new buildings requires the use of environmental declarations (issued by manufacturers) for carrying out life-cycle analyses and analyses of default environmental data and services-related environmental data made available by the State. Default environmental data are data used in the absence of an environmental declaration for the construction or decoration product, or for the equipment chosen, to improve the completeness of life-cycle analyses.
