Summary
For the first time in the U.S., a new voluntary repairability scoring standard is being launched in partnership with NSF, inspired by Europe’s smartphone labeling law. With New York’s repairability law pending and no unified U.S. system yet, this initiative aims to create a scalable, standardized framework—starting with smartphones, then expanding to other products. Experts from manufacturers, repair shops, and consumer advocates are invited to join the technical committee; applications close July 13. This isn’t a law, but a powerful tool to guide policy, empower buyers, and push toward a more fixable future.
