- mort96 3y agoGovernments do test products now and then, yes. But they aren't in the habit of routinely testing new products when they hit the market. I don't know what prompted this particular test, but it wouldn't surprise me if the ANFR just one day decided to test a bunch of models of iPhone (or a bunch of phone models in general) kind of arbitrarily. There was a similar case recently where Sweden's equivalent decided to test a bunch of models of EV chargers and found some lacking. In general, outside of these random tests, "they check the paperwork, not the thing itself" is correct.
- robertlagrant 3y agoSure, but the "accredited" in accredited laboratory is itself a paperwork audit-based process. This is how you get your own paperwork as a manufacturer to give to an auditor to say "Look at our paperwork". It doesn't mean the regulator is somehow testing things itself.
- greyman 3y agoHow do you know that? The article says they measured it is 5,74 W/kg, which Apple disagrees with. So in which paper would that number appear?
- robertlagrant 3y agoSorry, I don't understand the question. "In which paper" presumably doesn't refer to an academic paper?
