Radio Equipment Directive (Universal Charger Law)

The Radio Equipment Directive (RED), also known as the Universal Charger Law, mandates compliance for wireless electronic products within the EU. It requires these devices to have a USB Type-C port and to provide consumers the choice to purchase without a wall charger if one is also offered. Products must also display pictograms indicating charging capabilities and charger inclusion. This aims to reduce e-waste and allow for a standardized charging solution. Compliance with RED is essential for continued product listings in EU markets.
