Introduction of the European Union (EU) Directive on Universal Charger
Summary: The pl_news_team raised the topic of introducing the European Union directive on a universal charger, but did not provide any additional information or answers.
The European Union (EU) is introducing the Directive on a universal charger, aimed at reducing electronic waste by designating one type of charger for certain devices with a charging function. This directive applies only to business sellers.
From December 28, 2024, only devices with USB-C charging ports may be offered or sold in EU and Northern Ireland markets. Business sellers must also offer buyers the option to purchase an electronic device without a charger and must include additional information in such offers.
Remember that these new requirements do not apply to products that are already offered for sale or were sold in EU and Northern Ireland markets before December 28, 2024.
More information and guidance on the Directive on a universal charger, including detailed information on the products covered by this directive, can be found on the Seller's Zone page.
