EU charger label generator & USB-C checker

compliance check & labels
Pick a device category and enter its charging power to check the data against the EU common charger rules, generate the charging label, and get the correct charger-inclusion pictogram.
This tool helps check and complete product charging data and generates labels to the EU common charger format. It is not legal advice or a conformity assessment. The certified pictogram artwork is supplied by the European Commission; always verify your specifications and labelling before you sell.

Custom catalogue tooling, built by the engineers who run it.
what the eu rules require
two graphics, and the product data behind them.
The EU common charger rules (Directive (EU) 2022/2380, amending the Radio Equipment Directive) require covered electronics to charge over USB-C and to carry two graphics on their packaging: a pictogram showing whether a charging device is included, and a label showing the charging power. The rules reached most portable electronics on 28 December 2024 and laptops on 28 April 2026.
The label shows:
- A power range in watts — the minimum power the device needs to charge, and the power it needs to reach its maximum charging speed, e.g. “10–25 W”.
- USB PD — shown when the device supports USB Power Delivery. Fast charging above 5 V, 3 A or 15 W must use USB PD.
The Commission already provides the certified pictogram artwork, so the hard part isn't the graphics — it's getting each product's charging data right and complete. This tool checks that data, flags what's missing or inconsistent, fills the power label with your product's own values, and points you to the correct official pictogram. Verify everything against the European Commission's common charger guidance before you sell.
faq
eu charger labels — frequently asked questions
What is the EU common charger label?
It's the charging information label introduced by the EU common charger rules (Directive (EU) 2022/2380). It shows the power your device needs as a range — for example “10–25 W”, where 10 W is the minimum power to charge and 25 W is the power needed to reach the maximum charging speed — plus “USB PD” when the device supports USB Power Delivery. Covered devices must also carry a pictogram showing whether a charger is included in the box.
Which devices need an EU charging label, and from when?
Mobile phones, tablets, digital cameras, headphones and headsets, earbuds, portable speakers, handheld games consoles, e-readers, keyboards, mice and portable navigation devices have been covered since 28 December 2024. Laptops were added from 28 April 2026. Any covered device that recharges over a wire must use USB-C and carry the power label and the charger-inclusion pictogram.
Do laptops need a USB-C charging label now?
Yes. From 28 April 2026 laptops that recharge by wired charging fall under the EU common charger rules: they must charge over USB-C, support USB Power Delivery for fast charging above 15 W, and carry both the charging power label and the charger-inclusion pictogram on their packaging. This tool generates the label with your laptop's specific min and max power values.
What does the power label show — minimum and maximum watts?
The label shows two figures in watts: the minimum power required to charge the device, and the power required to reach its maximum charging speed, written as a range like “10–25 W”. If the device supports the USB Power Delivery fast-charging protocol, the label also shows “USB PD”. Fast charging above 5 V, 3 A or 15 W must use USB Power Delivery.
Where do I get the official charger pictogram?
The European Commission supplies the certified pictogram artwork — one version for devices sold with a charger and one for devices sold without. This tool tells you which variant applies based on your product data and links you straight to the official download, then fills in the per-product power label that the artwork can't pre-complete.
How do I add charging information to an eBay or Shopify listing?
Marketplaces such as eBay now expect item specifics covering whether a charger is included, the charging port, the minimum and maximum charging power, and USB PD support for covered categories. This tool produces copy-ready listing text with exactly those fields so you can paste them into your eBay item specifics or Shopify metafields. Always confirm against the marketplace's own field requirements.
Can I check a whole catalogue at once?
This free tool checks one product at a time. For a catalogue, we build the automation behind it at Appycodes — matching supplier datasheets to your model numbers, extracting charging specifications, flagging uncertain matches for review, and pushing corrected fields and labels into eBay or Shopify in bulk.
