Radio Equipment Directive

The Radio Equipment Directive requires that electronic devices with radio functionality (also known as radio equipment) placed on the market in the European Union after 28^th December 2024 (28^th April 2026 for laptops) must meet new labelling requirements.

These requirements are intended to inform consumers whether the respective electrical device is supplied with a power supply unit and to provide details on charging and compatible chargers.

Please note: The requirements of the Radio Equipment Directive only apply to products placed on the market from 28^th December 2024. Products which were already on the market before 28^th December 2024 are not affected by the directive.
