What has changed and its scope
Directive (EU) 2024/1799 set 31 July 2026 as the deadline to transpose and apply national measures. The manufacturer's repair duty concerns goods covered by the repairability requirements referenced in Annex II, not every product. National implementation must be checked for the market concerned.

Repair arrangements do not all follow the same rules
The framework includes repair within reasonable conditions and time, unless impossible, and an extension of at least twelve months to the legal liability period when the consumer chooses repair under that regime. This does not mean every repair is free or that a universal DPP duty exists. [1]
Separate legal duties, commercial services and history
We propose three distinct layers: the category's regulatory scope, the service conditions actually offered and a record of the work performed. Combining them can make an optional service appear to be a legal guarantee, or the reverse.
A product record can link to relevant instructions, but procedures and conditions need approval from the team responsible for service in the relevant country.
Make product history usable
As a project configuration, we propose associating the model, intervention reference, replaced component, service operator and closing record. These are organisational choices, not a list of mandatory data fields imposed by the directive.
Owner information should not automatically enter the public view. Different access levels can be designed for the customer, service team and authorised operators, keeping personal-data processing proportionate.
The NexusDpp approach
A cross-sector structure. A dedicated profile.
NexusDpp is designed to connect product identity, data, records, responsibilities and access. Preparation starts from this foundation: the proposed process translates the regulatory topic into a project configuration to validate against the customer's product and organisation. Platform architecture.
Determine the scope
Identify the category, market and applicable regime with the responsible specialist.
Connect the instructions
Associate approved documents and service information with the model.
Record the intervention
Design a history with relevant references, outcomes and records, without unnecessary personal data.
Update the lifecycle
Distinguish repair, refurbishment and end of life, with clearly assigned responsibilities.
Configuration example / illustrative
From requirements to daily work
After a component replacement, a service centre can record the outcome in the authorised area defined by the project. The public view should not automatically disclose the owner's name or the entire service case.
What needs configuration and validation
National implementation must be checked before communicating customer rights or conditions. NexusDpp can support the configured information process, but it cannot make a product technically repairable or certify that an intervention was correctly performed.
Available features, integrations and acceptance tests must be specified in the agreed service scope. An information page is not a conformity certificate. Project status and transparency.
