Spain increases the guarantee of the products. Of the current two mandatory years it will go to a legal guarantee of three years. This was approved today by the Council of Ministers, which has also agreed to increase the minimum time that manufacturers must provide at the repair level. Instead of the current five years, companies must have spare parts for at least 10 years of products that are no longer sold, which will facilitate their repair despite the fact that the product is old.
The new measure is contained in a Royal Decree-Law omnibus, which will also include new rights and guarantees for users in the face of the boom in online commerce, in line with what is proposed by the European Union, which at the end of November approved the so-called ‘right to repair ‘.
