A simple scale of build quality and repairablity that must be glued on the box, similar to the energy class (at least in the EU) would be a good start.

Interesting idea. iFixIt releases repairability scores for laptops [1] and phones [2].

As an avid tinkerer, it is shocking and disheartening to see the most popular products on both lists with the least scores !

What is the next generation of tinkerers going to muck their teens around ?

A mandatory list of tools for full disassembly, sufficient that they can be sourced.
