Repeal of Directive 2009/125/EC on ecodesign requirements for external power supplies pursuant to Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Commission Regulation (EC) No 278/2009

This regulation sets energy efficiency requirements for external power supplies, like those used for laptops and mobile phones. It aims to reduce energy waste and environmental impact by ensuring these devices consume less power when not in use or when fully charged.

The new rules update and replace previous regulations, setting stricter standards for energy consumption. This affects manufacturers and consumers by promoting more energy-saving products and potentially reducing electricity bills.
