USB-C Obligation: Label Radio Equipment Correctly

What USB-C Obligation Charging Port Online Shop means

For chargeable electronics such as smartphones and tablets, USB-C is prescribed as the charging port. In the listing, the port type, the required charging power, and the statement of whether a power supply is included must be presented, usually via a pictogram.

Who it applies to

Retailers of chargeable electronics with USB-C relevance are affected.

What must be shown in the shop

• Statement of USB-C charging port
• Required charging power (watts)
• Note on whether a power supply is included

How ShopCompliance solves this automatically

ShopCompliance stores the port type, charging power, and power supply information per product and renders the pictograms automatically in the listing.

Chargeable electronics without a USB-C port or without the required information on charging power and power supply do not comply with the Radio Equipment Directive and can be challenged by market surveillance. Missing mandatory information can also trigger warning letters.
