ITU approves standard for universal phone charger

摘要

International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has approval an energy-efficient one-charger-fits-all new mobile phone solution. Every mobile phone user will benefit from the new Universal Charging Solution (UCS), which enables the same charger to be used for all future handsets, regardless of make and model.rnThe new UCS standard is based on input from the GSMA, which predicts a 50 per cent reduction in standby energy consumption, elimination of 51,000 tonnes of redundant chargers, and a subsequent reduction of 13.6 million tonnes in green-rnhouse gas emissions each year.
