Each extension term includes dcterms:source, skos:note, and rdfs:seeAlso where applicable. All ratio/fraction properties use 0-1 decimal scale (e.g., 0.45 = 45%).
Repairability Index
French Repairability Index (Indice de Réparabilité) assessment using the official 5-criteria, 100-point scoring methodology. The score is displayed to consumers as 0-10 scale ; dcterms:source <https://www.ecologie.gouv.fr/indice-reparabilite> ; skos:note "Repairability concept per the French Repairability Index (Indice de Réparabilité) and the EU Right to Repair. No GS1, SEMICeu, or schema.org equivalent."@en . Five Criteria (20 points each): 1. Documentation - Availability of repair documentation 2. Disassembly - Ease of disassembly and tools required 3. Spare Parts Availability - Duration and access to spare parts 4. Spare Parts Pricing - Ratio of part prices to product price 5. Product Specific - Category-specific criteria (e.g., software support for smartphones) Total score (0-100) is converted to display score (0-10) for consumer labeling.
Required extension: The French Repairability Index uses a specific 5-criteria methodology that is not available in GS1 Web Vocabulary. Links to oec:RepairabilityInfo for base patterns.
Repair Criterion
An individual criterion score within the French Repairability Index.
A RepairCriterion is a specific kind of cccev:Criterion (EU SEMICeu CCCEV): the five Repairability-Index criteria (Documentation, Disassembly, SparePartsAvailability, SparePartsPricing, ProductSpecific) each scored against an InformationConcept within the broader Repairability Requirement. Modelled as rdfs:subClassOf rather than owl:equivalentClass because cccev:Criterion is broader and covers any conformity-evaluation criterion. CCCEV is the EU foundation that JTC 24 / CIRPASS-2 lean on for conformity / scoring.
Software Support
