That's a very good question.
Our recommendations discuss the availability of parts and repair manuals. I think that indirectly, this requirement could go a long way toward reducing wait times. Indeed, there's a problem when it comes to the availability of repair technicians. At Option consommateurs, we often see cases where people want to have an item repaired, but face extremely long wait times when parts are not available. Often, it's virtually impossible for an independent repairer to obtain these parts.
As such, having strong standards that require manufacturers to make parts available for a reasonable period after a product is released would foster a more dynamic repair market and promote competition. It might even bring down repair costs. It would undoubtedly reduce wait times for consumers seeking repairs and would also lower one of the major barriers, which is often the cost of repair. Repairs can be extremely expensive. There is limited competition.
I therefore think standards on the availability of parts could greatly contribute indirectly to making repairs more accessible to consumers.
