Intro

Welcome to the Repair Observatory!

This platform provides you with comprehensive information on the repairability of various products. This initiative is part of the Belgian law to promote the repairability and lifespan of goods (2024/003876), which aims to disseminate reliable information on the repairability, lifespan, and repair options of goods to the widest possible audience, with the goal of reducing the environmental impact of these goods.

We show the repairability score and complement this with insights drawn from repair data collected by repair initiatives according to the Open Repair Data Standard (source: The Open Repair Alliance, license: CC BY-SA 4.0), such as common failures and probability of successful repair.

This initiative aims to support consumers in making sustainable choices and extending the lifespan of their products.
