This CWA will describe a use-case for the assessment of the repairability of a product in the automotive industry based on the application of EN 45554. Challenges and lessons learned will be described and recommendations for the assessment of the repairability of a product from the manufacturer’s perspective are given. These findings can be helpful also outside the automotive industry.Focus on Repairability: The standard helps evaluate how easily complex electronic parts can be repaired, a significant challenge in the automotive sector.Electronic Control Units (ECUs): A specific example involves analyzing an ESP control unit, designed to operate in engine bay environments, for its repair potential.Circular Economy Goal: By making repairability a key performance indicator (KPI), the standard aims to improve product longevity and reduce waste.Supplier Comparability: It allows different manufacturers to benchmark their products' repair performance, fostering competition in sustainable design.CEN-CENELEC Initiative: This application is part of a broader CEN-CENELEC Workshop Agreement (CWA) to develop common methods for assessing repairability in automotive electronics
