EVS-EN 50735-1:2024

This document provides product group specific guidance for a common understanding of measures, given by any legislation, to define product specific information on the repairability and the reuse of used parts of motor-operated hand-held tools, transportable tools, lawn and garden machinery. It is based on the following aspects:
-  the inherent technical possibility/features to repair a product;
-  the ability of the person repairing the product (skill level and tools);
-  the possibility to reuse used parts of a product;
-  the ability during repair for software updates.
The decision whether a product should be repaired is dependent on a range of factors such as health and safety, intended use as well as economic, legal, and environmental aspects. However, the question of whether it is reasonable to repair the product or reuse of used parts is outside of the scope of this document. This document does not cover software (firmware and application software) or hardware modifications that change the intended use of the product. Other risks making products non-compliant with safety standards are also not covered by this document. The safety of the repairer during the repair is out of scope of this document.
