The article mentions the the French indice de réparabilité, but it's not perfect (and you need to speak French).
> For some products, the French indice de réparabilité can help you take this into account, in order to choose a washing machine that scores 10/10 for spare parts price instead of one that scores 2,5/10, or a TV that scores 7,5/10 instead of one that scores 0/10.(7) However, you cannot search for or filter products by spare parts score on any website. You have to check them one by one by reviewing the scoring grid, which may not even be available online—although the seller is legally required to provide it upon request.

- AshamedCaptain 3y agoAh yes, the repair score. Where something practically disposable like a Samsung foldable device (where you just can't do anything without destroying the main screen) scores a whopping 8/10 ( https://cdn.woopic.com/c10f167280f2414abb346a5347e1ecd9/prod/binaries/files/958357_27947390_1_samsung_galaxy_zfold5_calcul_indice_de_reparabilite.pdf https://cdn.woopic.com/c10f167280f2414abb346a5347e1ecd9/prod... ) , while something like the Fairphone scores just one extra point at 9/10. For comparison, iFixit gave the Fold a 2/10, and the Fairphone a 10/10.
