The EU's repairability intelligence layer
We combine official EU regulatory data, hands-on repair teardowns, and community repair records into one transparent score, so you always know whether to fix or replace.
Our Mission
RepairScore exists to democratise repair intelligence. When a device breaks, most consumers have to guess: is it worth fixing? How much will it cost? Can I even get parts? Professional repair technicians answer these questions instantly but that knowledge has never been accessible to everyday consumers.
We aggregate data from the EU's official product registries, iFixit's teardown database, and 3,800+ community Repair Cafés into a single 0–100 RepairScore. Search any product, get an instant score, and make an informed decision in seconds.
The timing matters. The EU Right to Repair Directive (adopted April 2024) must be transposed into national law by July 31, 2026. EU consumers will soon have legal rights to repair, and RepairScore is the tool that makes those rights actionable.
Scoring Methodology
The RepairScore (0–100) is calculated from five independently weighted data sources. When a source is unavailable for a product, its weight is redistributed proportionally to the remaining sources.
EU EPREL Data
European Product Registry for Energy Labelling, the official EU Commission database for energy-related products. Includes repair index scores for appliances.
iFixit Teardown Score
iFixit's internationally recognised repairability scores, based on hands-on teardown assessments of real products. Covers disassembly difficulty, parts access, and documentation quality.
Spare Parts Availability
Availability of spare parts from EU suppliers and manufacturer channels. Products with widely available, affordable parts score higher.
Open Repair Data
Community repair records from 3,800+ Repair Cafés worldwide, aggregated by the Open Repair Alliance. Reflects real-world repairability as experienced by volunteer technicians.
Product Age
Newer products in a manufacturer's active line are more likely to have spare parts and manufacturer support available. Older or discontinued models are penalised.
Data Sources
RepairScore is built on publicly available, authoritative data sources. We do not fabricate or estimate scores without disclosing it. All scoring inputs are traceable to primary sources:
- 1
EU EPREL — eprel.ec.europa.eu
The European Commission's official Product Registry for Energy Labelling. Authoritative source for EU energy label data and manufacturer-reported repairability indices.
- 2
iFixit — ifixit.com
The world's largest free repair manual database. iFixit's repairability scores are produced through hands-on teardown assessments by trained technicians and are widely cited by consumer groups and regulators.
- 3
Open Repair Alliance — openrepair.org
Aggregated community repair data from 3,800+ Repair Cafés worldwide. Provides real-world repair success rates and common fault patterns across product categories.
The Founder
Diogo Guimarães
Founder · Porto, Portugal
Diogo is a software engineer based in Porto, Portugal. He built RepairScore after noticing that consumers had no reliable, transparent way to assess whether a broken device was worth repairing, a question that professional technicians answer intuitively but that has never been codified for consumers.
RepairScore was designed to sit at the intersection of three converging forces: the EU Right to Repair Directive coming into effect in July 2026, growing consumer awareness of e-waste, and the availability of high-quality open data from EU EPREL, iFixit, and the Open Repair Alliance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about RepairScore and how it works.
What is RepairScore?
RepairScore is the EU's first consumer-facing product repairability platform. It assigns a transparent 0–100 score to electronics and appliances based on five independently weighted factors: EU EPREL energy label data, iFixit teardown scores, spare parts availability, Open Repair Data community records, and product age. Think Yuka, but for how fixable your devices are.
Who created RepairScore?
RepairScore was founded by Diogo Guimarães, a software engineer based in Porto, Portugal. Diogo built RepairScore to democratise access to the repairability intelligence that professional technicians have, and to help EU consumers exercise their growing legal rights under the EU Right to Repair Directive.
How is the RepairScore calculated?
The RepairScore (0–100) combines five data sources: EU EPREL energy label data (30% weight), iFixit teardown and repairability scores (25%), spare parts availability (20%), Open Repair Data community repair records (15%), and product age (10%). When a data source is unavailable, its weight is redistributed proportionally across the remaining sources.
What data sources does RepairScore use?
RepairScore pulls from the EU EPREL product registry (the official European Commission database for energy-related products), iFixit's repair teardown database, Open Repair Data community repair records from Repair Cafés worldwide, and spare parts availability signals from major EU spare parts suppliers.
Is RepairScore affiliated with the European Commission?
No. RepairScore is an independent product built by a private developer. It uses publicly available EU EPREL data but is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or part of the European Commission or any EU institution.
How does RepairScore relate to the EU Right to Repair Directive?
The EU Right to Repair Directive (adopted April 2024) must be transposed into national law by July 31, 2026. It grants EU consumers the right to choose repair over replacement, requires manufacturers to provide spare parts, and prohibits software blocks on independent repair. RepairScore helps consumers act on these rights by making repairability transparent before purchase.
