utbyttbar
Utbyttbar is a Swedish term meaning replaceable or exchangeable. In engineering and product design, utbytbarhet refers to the property that a component or module can be removed and replaced without requiring structural changes to the product. This often hinges on modular design, standardized interfaces, and accessible fasteners, as well as availability of spare parts and documentation.
Historically, replaceability has grown with mass production, maintenance needs, and end-of-life considerations. Modern sustainable design emphasizes
Common applications include batteries in consumer electronics, power supplies, modular electrical enclosures, automotive components, and household
Benefits of utbytbarhet include longer service life for products, lower environmental impact through reduced waste, and
Regulatory context in many regions promotes repairability and access to spare parts as part of broader sustainability
