Modular architectures enable upgrades instead of full replacements, extending service life. EU ecodesign\/repair policies now require spare parts and repair information—often for up to 10 years—supporting circularity. Greater durability also lowers customer total cost of ownership through fewer replacements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-orange-section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-box-orange-section4\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"title-row-orange-section\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"\/cdn\/shop\/files\/PESTLE-Content-Enviromental-Box-Icon-Color-2.svg\" alt=\"Icon\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eClimate resilience\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content-row-orange-section blur_box\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContec must harden enclosures and coatings against extreme heat and humidity, meeting IP66\/IP67\/IP69K and IEC 60068\/MIL-STD-810 environmental standards as global temps in the 2015–2024 decade averaged ~1.15°C above pre‑industrial levels (WMO).
