I think the new EU right to repair laws require appliances to be repairable for up to ten years, this article at least seems to suggest that the intention is for a level of ease of repair especially in regards to fasteners and fittings: > Under the new EU rules, manufacturers will have to ensure parts are available for up to a decade, though some will only be provided to professional repair companies to ensure they are installed correctly. > New devices will also have to come with repair manuals and be made in such a way that they can be dismantled using conventional tools when they really can't be fixed anymore, to improve recycling. https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/eu-right-repair-technology-decade-b1809408.html https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/eu...
