January 2024	Version 3	R05	Higher weighting for models that increase longevity capabilities (including durability and reparability); this drives the benefit that customers may use their devices for longer and reduces carbon emissions. Re-scale of each LCA parameter into the overall score and reflect key criteria from EU Eco Design directive.
