Does your phone charger have this symbol? Almost no one knows what it really means

Many users are unaware of the meaning of the number inside a circle of arrows found on phone chargers. This symbol represents the Environment-Friendly Use Period (EFUP), an indication from Chinese standards that refers to the period during which dangerous substances in the equipment should not be released into the environment, not meaning a mandatory "expiration date". The article also warns that, although the charger doesn't technically expire, components such as cables and plugs can degrade over time, and it's important to check for signs of wear such as a burning smell, overheating or physical damage. Other common symbols are also explained, such as the house (indoor use), the crossed-out bin (mandatory recycling) and the square within another square (Class II equipment with double insulation).
