The federal government approved on Friday a change to the law stipulating that from 2024, all mobile phones must have the same charger, said in a press release the Minister of Telecommunications, Petra De Sutter. The government is thus transposing a European directive.
Last year, the European Parliament gave the green light to the introduction of a universal charger for smartphones and other small electronic devices. From the end of 2024, these devices must be equipped with a USB-C port. Consumers will then be able to choose whether or not to purchase a new charger at the same time as their device. The federal government has approved a change in the law that will make the measure effective in our country next year.
The measure also applies to other devices, such as digital cameras, headphones, portable speakers, e-readers and tablets. For laptops, a universal charger will be mandatory from 2026, added Petra De Sutter.
