Introduction
Although USB is now commonplace, it has a long history and was first introduced in 1996. Twenty-seven years after its introduction, the evolution of the USB standard is still rapid, and the evolution of the connector is progressing in the same way. In the process of USB connector evolution, newly purchased products may have different connector shapes.
Existing adapters cannot be reused, unnecessary power adapters and cables are thrown away, and electronic waste has become a global problem.
This time, we will introduce what kind of responses countries around the world are facing and how they are responding to the evolution of connectors.
In the future, in some regions, sales of mobile electronic devices that do not have USB Type-C will be regulated. will become important.
USB Trends in Each Country and Basic USB Courses
You can watch the USB trend in each country and the basic video of USB from here.
Trends in each country
EU
In the EU, the movement to unify (universalize) connectors, adapters and cables to USB Type-C has become active with the aim of reducing the electronic waste problem.
It has also begun to attract attention from the perspective of the SDGs, and in fact the EU will enact legislation from 2024 to solve this problem. All mobile electronic devices, including smartphones and tablets, are required to be equipped with USB Type-C as standard. In the future, the EU will regulate the sale of mobile electronic devices that do not have USB Type-C. From 2026 onwards, laptop computers will also be covered.
China
In China, standardization of external connection terminals and charging standards is being promoted.
Decided to promote the standardization of external connection terminals for mobile electronic devices such as smartphones,
China Communication Standards, which consists of Xiaomi, Huawei, etc., has announced the `` UFCS (Universal Fast Charging Specification) '' for fast charging standards.
Korea
South Korea has designated the IEC3 standard, including USB Type-C, as a national standard (KS).
We aim to spread to electronic devices in a wide range of fields through industry-academia-government collaboration.
India
After the EU announced the universalization of USB-Type-C, it was announced that India is considering standardizing USB Type-C.
It has already formed a subgroup to explore the feasibility of unifying charging ports for mobile electronics and wearables.
An impact study is planned by the MoEFCC (Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Climate Change) on waste electrical and electronic equipment.
Brazil
ANATEL (National Telecommunications Agency) has proposed a bill defining mandatory technical requirements for evaluating compliance of wired charging interfaces using USB Type-C for mobile phones.
In Brazil it is focused on smartphones.
