Forums - European product guarantee directive - PC Advisor

"Listening to Radio 4 the other morning I was intrigued to hear this German lady MEP speaking about product warranties in Britain. It seems she was/is living in this country and went out shopping. She bought an electric kettle, some other items and a digital camera, then asked the shop assistant about warranties. On being told it was for just one year she went on to tell all and sundry the minimum warranty term, as decreed by the EU, was now two years and the directive should have been implemented in the UK by January 2002.

Out of interest I looked around and find that she is correct, so why do we still see just a one year term on most things today? "

The 2 year minimum warranty is implemented in Sweden, though alot of retailers and resellers try to wriggle their way out of it. Essentially, over here, if something technical breaks within two years of the purchase, and the shop says
"soz, one year warranty :tt2:", you are within your rights to say
"The EU says otherwise :dita:", and they're forced to oblige, supposing of course that the malfunction is something which is covered by the warranty and/or consumer law to begin with.
