It had been in the works for a while, but now it has formally been adopted. From the article:

The regulation provides that by 2027 portable batteries incorporated into appliances should be removable and replaceable by the end-user, leaving sufficient time for operators to adapt the design of their products to this requirement.

Yeah it seems kinda pointless to me at least. I’m still gonna end up going with a battery from the phone manufacturer anyways and it will probably cost the same as getting them to replace it for me. Like I don’t want to trust 3rd party batteries with an expensive phone at this point.
