The Open Repair Data Standard (openrepair.org) reached v2.0 in June 2026, standardizing how repair data is collected across 200+ community repair groups worldwide (Restart Project, Repair Cafe, iFixit). Schema: product_category, fault_type, repair_status, parts_cost, time_spent, tools_used. Key insights from 50K+ repair records: (1) 62% of attempted repairs succeed (2) smartphones and laptops have highest repair success (72%), small kitchen appliances lowest (48%) (3) average repair cost is 23% of replacement cost. Standardized data enables repair-friendly product design by identifying common failure points. EU Ecodesign Directive now requires manufacturers to use ORDS for reporting repairability metrics. The standard is a critical infrastructure piece for the Right to Repair movement, making repair data machine-readable and comparable across countries and product categories.
