Starting June 20, 2025, all smartphones and tablets sold in the EU will feature a new label inside the box, indicating battery life and efficiency. This is an update to the energy sticker Europeans are already familiar with on household appliances, tailored to align with the type of information consumers now expect from their electronic devices.

All suppliers - manufacturers, importers, or authorized representatives - operating in the EU/EEA market must register their product models through a dedicated EPREL platform managed by the European Commission.

While manufacturers are responsible for providing accurate data, the Commission will verify information related to ingress protection, repairability, and battery performance.
