For consumers, the new standard supplements and sorts out the new hidden dangers brought by new products such as wireless chargers and Bluetooth headsets to ensure consumer safety. For the country, the new standard is closer to the international standard, which reduces the incompatibility of my country’s electronic equipment to overseas markets, and will effectively enhance the export of my country’s electronic products in the future.
