Then, on April 16, 2025, Chile published a WTO consultation document on mobile information and telecommunications equipment and chargers. The regulation establishes universal interoperability between mobile devices and their chargers, requiring certain devices, such as mobile phones, tablets, and laptops, to use a USB-C port as the charging standard. At the same time, the regulation defines technical specifications based on international standards, and requires suppliers to clearly state whether the charger is supplied and the charging specifications of the equipment, the basic requirements are the same as the requirements of the EU Common Charger Regulation, but the international technical standards required by Chapter IV of the regulation are IEC 62680-1-2:2024 and IEC 62680-1-3:2024.
