Fixable
A label that indicates a product is designed to be fixed. | |
A sales and green label to show that product is of a construction standard, with available replacement parts, that can be fixed. This will come at a cost but has the ability to be endlessly serviceable. A product you can pass down the generations that has had loving use and memories.
A further standard
is the platinum fixable label which places emphasis on the parts. Parts must be off the shelf standards so repairs are not limited to a companies proprietary parts. The innovation sold is an actual intellectual difference not just a twist of shape.
This idea is brought to you by a whole number (reasonably large) and the letter l (for logic of a global set of universal product screws)

Seems like most anything can be fixed with a little rework. [sninctown, Jan 03 2020]

And to get the consumer in the right frame of mind, the product can be shipped, needing to be fixed right out of the box. Wait a minute... this idea has already been tried. |

[sninctown] Restoration is slightly different to fixing as it presupposes a period of non use. Beautiful objects, nevertheless. |

iFixit gives repairability scores to consumer electronics
products, but I don't know of any product being sold with an
iFixit score printed on its packaging. |
