Brussels changes mobile phone rules – The important February 2027
Since February 2027, the European Union has been implementing new regulations that radically change mobile phones and tablets. The rules, adopted in 2023, impose batteries substituted by the user with simple tools. The batteries will retain 80% of their capacity after 800 charging cycles and will remain available for five years. Spare parts will be offered for up to 10 years, while devices will be labelled with life-long, durable and repairable information. The aim is to reduce electronic waste and extend the life of devices.
