Spare-part availability
7 yrs (sample)
Repairability, proven on every device.
Electronics fall under the Ecodesign framework and the ESPR, with RoHS and WEEE obligations layered on top. Norruva turns repairability, spare-part and software-support data into a passport buyers and regulators can verify.

How it works
From your systems to a verified passport.
Norruva ingests your engineering and service data, validates it against the Ecodesign model, and publishes a passport buyers and regulators can verify.
Connect your data
Pull the data you already hold from the systems you already run — no re-keying.
Validate against the model
The sector template checks every required field and flags gaps before anything is published.
Anchor & publish
Norruva anchors the passport and resolves it from the product’s QR or Digital Link, with a full audit trail.
Developers
Create a electronics passport in one call.
Post repairability and support data once. Norruva checks it against the Ecodesign model, anchors the record and returns a verifiable passport.
- Full-parity sandbox — Test the entire flow before any live gate.
- Validated on write — Required fields are checked server-side before publish.
- Events & webhooks — A webhook fires the moment verification completes.

The consumer view
What your electronics customer sees.
A buyer scans the box and sees how repairable the device is, how long it’s supported, and what it’s made from — before they buy.
- One scan, no app — the passport opens in any browser.
- Verified provenance a buyer can trust at the shelf.
- The same record recyclers and auditors read at end-of-life.

Common questions
Questions electronics teams ask.
Which electronics need a passport?
Electronic and ICT products sit under the Ecodesign framework and the ESPR; specific groups are addressed through working plans and delegated acts. Norruva maps your product to the applicable requirements.
How does this relate to RoHS and WEEE?
The passport carries your existing RoHS substance data and WEEE take-back routing as structured fields, so one record serves several obligations at once.
What is the repairability index based on?
Factors such as disassembly, spare-part availability, documentation and software support. Norruva structures each as an evidence-backed field — the score shown on this page is illustrative.
Must we publish software-support duration?
Ecodesign increasingly expects update and spare-part commitments to be disclosed. Norruva records them as verifiable fields with an end-of-support date.
