On October 10, 2024, the Ministry of Economy, Development and Tourism of Chile published Act No. 21695, which provides for universal chargers for all kinds of mobile phones and IT devices. Under this new law, mobile device sellers are required to provide consumers with chargers that can be purchased separately, rather than having to be purchased together. In addition, the seller must inform the consumer whether the mobile device is included with the charger when purchasing it. The act has a 2-year grace period for mobile phones and a 4-year grace period for other mobile devices.
