Product Energy Efficiency - Smartphones and Tablets. The 2023 regulations cover smartphones, feature phones, cordless phones and slate tablets. They do not apply to tablet computers, to products with flexible main display (roll-up), and to smartphones for high security communication. Energy labelling is foreseen only for smartphones and slate tablets.
Manufacturers will be required to offer spare parts and publish security updates for an extended period. Energy labels will show a repairability index as well as energy efficiency.
Damn, I just bought a tablet last month. But at least I stuck to my Nokia phone so the replacement, when it becomes necessary, will fall under these rules. This ought to be quite nice, can’t wait for the reactions from the big manufacturers.
