M/607 - Wireless Charging
COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION of C(2025)1207 on a Standardisation Request M/607 as regards charging interface and charging communication protocol for radio equipment capable of being recharged by means of wireless charging in relation with Article 3(4), sixth subparagraph, of Directive 2014/53/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council.
Mandate M/607 addresses the standardisation of charging interfaces and communication protocols for wireless charging of radio equipment. Issued under Commission Implementing Decision C(2025)1207, it supports compliance with Article 3(4), sixth subparagraph, of Directive 2014/53/EU. The mandate tasks European Standardisation Organisations, particularly CENELEC as reflected in resolution D180/C009, with developing technical standards to ensure interoperability, safety, and efficiency of wireless charging systems for radio devices. This facilitates harmonised market deployment and user convenience within the EU.
Purpose
This mandate, referenced as M/607, focuses on establishing standards related to wireless charging technologies for radio equipment. It aims to define a unified charging interface and charging communication protocol to facilitate the recharging of radio equipment via wireless charging methods. The mandate is issued under the framework of Directive 2014/53/EU of the European Parliament and Council, specifically referring to Article 3(4), sixth subparagraph, which governs harmonisation of standards for radio equipment to ensure the health, safety, and electromagnetic compatibility requirements are met.
Standardisation request
The standardisation request calls for the development of European standards that cover:
- A standardized wireless charging interface for radio equipment.
- A charging communication protocol that ensures interoperability among devices and wireless chargers.
- Compliance with the essential requirements of Directive 2014/53/EU for the proper functioning and safety of radio equipment when charged wirelessly.
The request is formalized through a CENELEC (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization) BT (Board of Directors) decision, referenced as D180/C009.
Expected deliverables
The key deliverables expected from this mandate include:
- Harmonised European standards specifying the technical details of the wireless charging interface.
- Defined protocols for communication between radio equipment and wireless chargers to manage power transfer efficiently and safely.
- Documentation enabling manufacturers and stakeholders to implement interoperable wireless charging solutions for radio equipment in the EU market.
- Standards that support regulatory compliance under Directive 2014/53/EU.
Context
Wireless charging technology has become increasingly important for the convenience and usability of portable radio equipment. To foster a competitive and unified market within the EU, harmonised standards are crucial. This mandate aligns with EU policies geared towards strengthening standardisation activities to support innovation while ensuring safety and interoperability of wireless charging solutions. The decision reflects ongoing efforts to update and expand the technical framework applicable to radio equipment under the Radio Equipment Directive.
The mandate covers standardisation work on the charging interface and charging communication protocol for radio equipment that can be recharged using wireless charging technology. This includes establishing common standards for the interaction between wireless chargers and radio devices within the scope of Directive 2014/53/EU.

IEC 63563-11:2025 describes Magnetic power profile (MPP) which is a protocol extension that provides additional messages, new power states/modes, new power transfer contract elements, and aims to provide the following functionalities:
• Operating Frequency Negotiation
• Cloaking (Power Pause)
• Generic Information Exchange
• Simultaneous Data Stream Transactions
• Fast PTx to PRx communication
• Maximum Power and Power Control Profiles Determination
• Extended Power Negotiation
• Extended PTx/PRx Identification and Capabilities
• Extended Control Error Packets and Received Power Packets
• Power Transmitter Battery Level Reporting
• Ecosystem Scalability
MPP extension allows devices to operate under Restricted mode (no PTx communication) at 360kHz without performing any explicit negotiation with the Power Transmitter. This flexibility enables devices with limited resources (e.g., devices with no FSK support) to take advantage of the frequency change feature.
