Expanded Scope: The new regulations will apply not only to external power supplies but also to battery chargers, wireless charging pads, and USB-C cables sold in the EU. Increased Power Capabilities: The limitation on product power of 250W will be lifted, allowing for more powerful devices to be designed, aligning with sustainability goals.
The new EU Battery Regulation is primarily a response to the mass-market adoption of EVs, however, it also covers industrial stationary applications, such as mission-critical power systems.
EU draft regulations aim to enhance energy efficiency and sustainability for EPS and USB-C cables, affecting design, labeling, and durability standards by 2025.
The draft Commission Regulation proposes new ecodesign requirements for External Power Supplies (EPS), Battery Chargers for portable batteries, Wireless Chargers, Wireless Charging Pads, and USB Type-C cables. 1. Extending the scope - Wireless Chargers and Battery Chargers for portable batteries, as per Regulation (EU) 2023/1542. 2.
