Hi Ted, Thank you very much for your response. Ear buds come with a charge case that is USB C. Is that OK? And if so, why can’t a USB C cable to magnet pins work? As long as a standard USB C charger works, isn’t that the intent? Best Regards. Cecil

You must provide the customer the option of buying the product without either an external power supply or charging cable. The intent of the regulation is that consumers should be able to buy new devices that can be charged with their existing USB power supplies and cables.

Does this mean a USB Type C connector has to be on the device or can a cable that has USB C with let’s say a magnetic connector on the device end be used? Thanks!
