Available spare parts are product components that are in stock and can be ordered for repair. Spare parts availability is a major issue for the right to repair and the circular economy. The AGEC Law requires manufacturers to inform about spare parts availability for a minimum period. Verisav integrates spare parts availability checking into the repair process, enabling real-time knowledge of which parts are available, their prices and delivery times. Spare parts availability is a crucial element to enable product repair and extend their lifespan. Without available spare parts, it is impossible to repair a product, which often leads to premature replacement and resource waste. Spare parts availability is therefore a major issue for the right to repair, the circular economy, and reducing environmental impact. The AGEC Law (Anti-waste for a circular economy) requires manufacturers to inform consumers and repairers about spare parts availability for a minimum period, which varies by product type. This obligation aims to ensure that products can be repaired for a reasonable period after purchase. Available spare parts can be classified into several categories: immediately available parts (available immediately), parts in stock with delay (available but with delivery time), parts on order (available but requiring order from manufacturer), and obsolete parts (no longer available). Spare parts availability may vary depending on several factors: product age (recent products generally have more parts available), product popularity (popular products generally have more parts available), and manufacturer policy (some manufacturers maintain large stock, others do not). Verisav integrates spare parts availability checking into the repair process, enabling real-time knowledge of which parts are available, their prices and delivery times, thus facilitating repair planning and improving transparency for consumers and repairers.
