Why now

Right to Repair is no longer
on its way. It applies.

Member states were required to apply the Right to Repair Directive from 31 July 2026. National implementation varies, but the direction is set.

Repair documentation, spare parts data and access control take time to get right, especially in global organisations with fragmented tools and regional processes. Companies that start early avoid rushed fixes, manual work and inconsistent compliance across markets.
