New standards (e.g., the EN4555X series) and indices have been issued to include repairability aspects in product design.

Project definition includes the identification of target components for service/repair purposes, while laboratory test allows retrieval of disassembly data in accordance with EN 45554 standard. The disassemblability index calculation brings to the identification of design criticalities that affect the repairability score providing important insight into the identification of eco-design actions.

Abstract
New standards (e.g., the EN4555X series) and indices have been issued to include repairability aspects in product design. These indices are very useful in the design phase to characterize the product and to understand the ability of products to be disassembled. The goal of this paper is to address product repairability and ease of disassembly for cooking systems, with a specific focus on induction hobs. A four steps approach was followed encompassing project definition, laboratory tests, disassemblability index calculation, and eco-design actions definition for product improvement. Project definition includes the identification of target components for service/repair purposes, while laboratory test allows retrieval of disassembly data in accordance with EN 45554 standard. The disassemblability index calculation brings to the identification of design criticalities that affect the repairability score providing important insight into the identification of eco-design actions. The implementation of the eco-design actions, when applied in the product development process, will lead to an increment in repairability and serviceability performance for the identified target components.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
