    Good news as EU formally adopts Ecodesign measures:

    - As of 2021, all TVs, monitors, fridges, freezers, washing machines, washer-dryers, dishwashers and lighting products on the EU market will have to meet minimum repairability requirements
    - Manufacturers will have to ensure easy disassembly with commonly available tools.
    - Spare parts and repair information will have to be made available to professional repairers for a minimum number of years.
