Spare parts

Spare parts are individual components of a product that can be replaced during a repair. The availability of spare parts 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 management into the repair process, enabling availability checking, ordering and tracking their use in interventions. Spare parts availability has become an essential criterion for assessing product repairability. A repairable product must have its spare parts available for a sufficient period, generally 5 to 10 years depending on the product type, and at a reasonable price relative to the product purchase price. The AGEC law and ESPR regulation strengthen manufacturer obligations regarding spare parts availability, particularly for electronic and household appliances. Manufacturers must inform consumers and repairers about parts availability, prices and delivery times. Effective spare parts management is complex: it requires maintaining sufficient stock while avoiding over-stocking, managing references for many product models, tracking orders and deliveries, and optimizing costs. The DPP can store information on available spare parts for each product, facilitating access to this information for repairers. Verisav offers a complete spare parts management solution that integrates with inventory management systems, enables real-time availability checking, facilitates ordering and tracks parts usage in repair interventions.
