With today's proposal for a revised Radio Equipment Directive, the charging port and fast charging technology will be harmonised:
USB-C will become the standard port for all
smartphones,
tablets, cameras,
headphones, portable speakers and handheld videogame consoles. In addition, the Commission proposes to unbundle the sale of chargers from the sale of electronic devices. This will improve consumers' convenience and reduce the environmental footprint associated with the production and disposal of chargers, thereby supporting the green and digital transitions.
