Right To Repair Spare Parts Verification

The EU Right to Repair Directive, in force from July 31, 2026, requires manufacturers to give repairers unambiguous model and serial identification — a scan should confirm a part is genuine, not decide whether a repair is allowed to proceed.

Why AuthiChain

• Genuine-part verification runs offline against the signed record — no network call to a manufacturer database required
• A signature proves a part was issued by the manufacturer; it does not gate installation the way a paired-parts lockout does
• Model and serial data travel in a W3C Verifiable Credential any repairer’s tool can read, not one tied to a single OEM app

How it works

Issue a unique identifier per unit, anchor its record on-chain for tamper-evidence, and let anyone verify it with a single scan. Plans start at $49/mo.

FAQ

Does this stop third-party or reused parts from being installed?

No — verification confirms whether a specific part is OEM-genuine. It does not disable a device or block a non-OEM part from being installed.

What must manufacturers provide under the directive?

Unambiguous product identification — model and serial number — plus repair and maintenance information, for the product categories the directive covers.
