"Companies that sell consumer electronics such as refrigerators, washers, hairdryers, or TVs in the European Union - and in the UK - will need to ensure those goods can be repaired for up to 10 years."
UK has to follow the same manufacturing rules since it continues to trade with the EU
It only covers appliances, but it's a step in the right direction
@cypnk "UK has to follow the same manufacturing rules since it continues to trade with the EU"
Oh, the irony! :-)
@gemlog @cypnk Great news. This #RightToRepair law could even benefit Americans. Consider that Braun & Norelco/Philips design their electric shavers to self-destruct if you try to replace the battery. I think these are German companies. Will they manufacture separate self-destructing models for outside the EU? Unlikely. The world will benefit from this.
