It's not mandated, but they do have specific logos available for cables that pass compliance testing: https://www.usb.org/sites/default/files/usb-if_usb_type-c_cable_logo_usage_guidelines_final_20230818.pdf https://www.usb.org/sites/default/files/usb-if_usb_type-c_ca... If consumers would stop buying cables that don't have these logos, that would (mostly) solve the problem.

And where is the list of cables that have passed the compliance test and use the cable logo? I can't say I've ever seen one of the package logo's, and yes I've been aware of them for a while now. This is obviously a case of "mistakes were made" but I think the fact that they haven't mandated the logos as part of the license to use the USB specifications says a lot about the companies that run the organization. (or maybe their products). Edit: There is this, but no actual type-c -> type-c cables, https://www.usb.org/products https://www.usb.org/products. Oh maybe they are under "retail -> cable assembly" but I still can't find one with a logo, which is the same problem. Once I buy it, how do I know what it can do in a year or two when I pull it out of a pile of cables.
