There is a group offering CoS-equivalent services free of charge as a bit of a challenge to it (CoS Lite, CoS Methadone). They do so by acquiring these devices second-hand and I guess maintaining them is needed and the CoS wants to limit their impact by limiting their right to repair the devices.

Ah so it is, much like the matters with Apple and John Deere, a misuse of IP law. Right to repair serves the public. Giving the CoS even a religious monopoly on e-meter testing does not.
