Requires five years of security updates after the product is discontinued
They also want mobile phones sold within their area to be energy-labeled, in many ways in the same way as white goods, but with information on how long the battery is expected to last, and how much the device can withstand for example. fall.

 

It does not stop with hardware, because it is also desired that mobile security updates five years after the device disappears from the market and functionality updates for three years.
