dfreparability — Repairability and durability index for PrestaShop

The dfreparability module covers the French repairability index (AGEC law, 29 December 2020 decree) and the durability index (22 April 2022 decree) for the 11 mandated product categories, on PrestaShop 8 and 9.

Legal framework

Two texts structure the requirement:

• Repairability index — mandatory since 1 January 2021 for 9 initial categories, gradually extended (AGEC law of February 2020, decree of 29 December 2020).
• Durability index — introduced by the decree of 22 April 2022. Replaces the repairability index for televisions since April 2024 and for front-load washing machines since April 2025.

Both indices are computed on a 0–10 scale from the 5 Bercy criteria (each scored on 20 sub-points). The durability index adds 3 supplementary criteria (reliability, upgradability, maintenance).

Installation

1. In the PrestaShop back-office, go to Modules → Module Manager, click Upload a module and drop the dfreparability.zip file.
2. Click Install. The module:
   • creates the ps_dfreparability_product table to store per-product scores;
   • creates a CMS page Repairability and durability index with a ready-to-customize reference content;
   • registers the 11 preconfigured categories with the matching Bercy criteria.
3. At install time, the module does not modify any existing product. You enter the scores product by product.

Entering the index on a product page

dfreparability adds a Repairability / durability index panel to the product page, available in both legacy and Symfony mode (PrestaShop 9). The procedure is the same in both modes.

The 4 steps

1. Index type — choose Repairability or Durability. For televisions and front-load washing machines, choose Durability directly (new requirement).
2. Category — pick from the 11 preconfigured categories. The criteria grid adapts automatically.
3. Per-criterion scores — each scored on 20. The 5 Bercy criteria are always shown. If Durability is selected, the 3 supplementary criteria appear as well.
4. Final score — computed automatically from the criteria. A Manual score field lets you override the value if you’re applying a specific Bercy adjustment documented in the manufacturer’s official grid.

Score computation (0–10)

The module applies the official Bercy method:

score_out_of_10 = (sum of scores / number of criteria) / 2

Example for a smartphone on the repairability index with these 5 scores:

• Documentation: 16 / 20
• Disassemblability: 14 / 20
• Parts availability: 12 / 20
• Parts price: 10 / 20
• Product-specific: 18 / 20

Score: (16 + 14 + 12 + 10 + 18) / 5 / 2 = 14 / 2 = 7.0 out of 10 — light green band.

The 5 regulatory bands

The logo color is derived from the score and strictly follows the official thresholds:

Score	Band	Color code
≥ 8.0	Dark green	#2d8c3c
7.0 to 7.9	Light green	#79c142
5.0 to 6.9	Yellow	#f5d70a
3.0 to 4.9	Orange	#f08017
< 3.0	Red	#cf2127

The 11 preconfigured categories

1. Smartphones
2. Laptops
3. Televisions (durability since April 2024)
4. Front-load washing machines (durability since April 2025)
5. Top-load washing machines
6. Dishwashers
7. Corded vacuum cleaners
8. Cordless vacuum cleaners
9. Robot vacuum cleaners
10. High-pressure cleaners
11. Electric lawnmowers

For each category, the module ships the criteria grid matching the official texts. If Bercy publishes an update to the criteria, a module update is shipped as part of your license.

Frontend display

Position choice

From the module configuration (Modules → dfreparability → Configure), three positions are offered on the product page:

• Under the price (recommended) — uses the displayProductPriceBlock hook with type=after_price. Visible immediately on the product page.
• In an additional-info tab — uses displayProductAdditionalInfo. Places the index under a dedicated tab.
• Under the thumbnails — uses displayAfterProductThumbs. Recommended if your theme puts the product info to the right of the thumbnails.

Compact display in listings

A separate option enables a compact badge on product listings (category, search, results pages) via the displayProductListReviews hook. The badge shows the colored logo and the score without the per-criterion breakdown.

Detailed score page

Every product with a defined index has a public page at /module/dfreparability/detail?id_product={id} displaying:

• the large-format colored logo;
• the score with the corresponding color band;
• the full criteria grid with per-criterion scores;
• the link to the official PDF if provided;
• a link to the legal information CMS page.

Legal information CMS page

At install time, the module creates a CMS page Repairability and durability index with reference content in French covering:

• legal grounds (AGEC law, 2020 decree, 2022 decree);
• the 5 color bands table with their thresholds;
• the 11 mandated categories and their effective dates;
• the 5 Bercy criteria and their weighting;
• the supplementary criteria for the durability index.

You’re free to edit this page from Design → Pages and to translate it in any of your active languages. Links from the product pages automatically point to the version matching the visitor’s browsing language.

Customization

Replacing the logos with the official Bercy assets

The module ships 10 SVG logos (2 indices × 5 bands) inspired by the official visual. If the manufacturer provided the official PNG or SVG files, replace them in views/img/logos/, keeping the same filenames:

reparability-dark-green.svg
reparability-light-green.svg
reparability-yellow.svg
reparability-orange.svg
reparability-red.svg
durability-dark-green.svg
durability-light-green.svg
durability-yellow.svg
durability-orange.svg
durability-red.svg

Adjusting the CSS

The frontend uses the CSS classes .dfrep-badge, .dfrep-score, .dfrep-band-*. The main stylesheet is at views/css/dfreparability.css. To override without modifying the module, add your rules in your child theme’s CSS — the selectors remain stable across versions.

Multi-language and multi-store

Included translations: French, English, Spanish, German. Additional languages can be added through PrestaShop’s standard translation tool (International → Translations).

Product scores are stored by id_product, so they’re shared between stores in a multi-store network. If a product needs different scores per store, declinate the product. The legal information CMS page can be differentiated per store through PrestaShop’s standard tool.

Product duplication

The module listens on the actionProductAdd hook: when you duplicate a product with an index defined, the scores and the criteria grid are automatically copied to the new product.

Compatibility and prerequisites

• PrestaShop: 8.0 to 9.x (both product page modes, legacy and Symfony).
• PHP: 7.4 minimum, 8.1+ recommended.
• Themes: compatible with Classic, Hummingbird and third-party themes that fire the standard product page hooks.
• PrestaShop 1.7: not supported.

Troubleshooting

The badge appears twice on the product page

Check that you haven’t enabled multiple display positions simultaneously in the module configuration. Since v1.0.1, the displayProductPriceBlock hook only responds to the after_price type, which prevents internal duplication of the price block.

The detail page returns “Controller not found”

On PrestaShop 9, clear the Symfony cache (Advanced parameters → Performance → Clear cache) after installation. Version 1.0.1 fixes the front controller class name casing to match the canonical form expected by the PS 9 Dispatcher.

The panel doesn’t show up on the Symfony product page

Check that the actionProductFormBuilderModifier hook is properly attached to the module (Design → Positions). It’s the native Symfony hook — if another module has disabled it globally, re-enable it on dfreparability.
