New smartphone labels for battery life and repairability are coming to the EU

They display the product’s energy efficiency rating, on a scale from A to G, along with battery life, the number of charge cycles the battery is rated for, letter grades for durability and repairability, and any applicable IP rating for protection from dust and water.

It looks like individual scores for the battery and repairability. The battery score seems to be just charge cycles. Repairability would probably something similar to iFixit but we'll have to see. I do like this though or at least the attempt of it.

Alongside the labels the EU is introducing “ecodesign requirements” imposing minimum standards on the same products. Those include protection from splashes of water (and dust particles larger than 1mm for phones), scratch and drop protection, batteries that retain at least 80 percent of their capacity after 800 charging cycles, and making “critical spare parts” available within 5-10 working days.

What? What will be driving this unaffordability? Companies being unable to lie?

Is that not what we want? For € to go into actual features, held up by publicly and verbosely declared information about a product???
