It's being reported this morning that Chinese regulators plan to ban sales of certain types of wireless chargers, including some from Apple, in the latest example of growing compliance risks for foreign electronics products in China.

The updated radio frequency management regulations from China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, which come into effect on September 1, state that only three frequency bands will be recognized for mobile and portable wireless charging equipment: 100-148.5kHz, 6765-6795kHz, and 13553-13567kHz. In addition, rated transmission power shall not exceed 80W.

The new rules aim to “avoid harmful interference of radio operations”, such as radio communications in the aviation industry, and “maintain the order of airwaves”, according to the provisions. The rules are expected to impact Apple’s wireless charging products, since the company’s 15W wireless charging feature is based on the Apple-owned MagSafe and Qi2 standards, both of which operate at 360kHz, a frequency that is out of the allowed range.
