Universal Phone Charger Standard
Finally! A universal phone charger standard.
IEC, the international standards and conformity assessment body for all fields of electrotechnology, announced the publication of the first globally relevant universal phone charger standard for data-enabled mobile telephones.
This new IEC International Standard covers all aspects of the charger, connector and plug, as well as safety, interoperability and environmental considerations.
An estimated 51,000 metric tons of redundant chargers are manufactured each year. This new standard opens the way to a significant reduction of mobile phone-related electronic waste and, when widely adopted by industry, will allow consumers to use a single one-fits-all charger with all new smartphones
