From the article: > India will shift to a USB type C charging port for all smart devices after stakeholders reached a consensus at a meeting of an inter-ministerial task force set up by the Union government, consumer affairs secretary Rohit Kumar Singh said Wednesday.
How will this standard be enforced for products operating outdoors?
I think this is for mobile phones primarily and any devices that today use a multitude of OEM-specific chargers.
Enforced at port of entry (customs).
So they will effectively ban imports of all outdoor weather rated 'smart products'?
I don't think so. This only applies to mobile phones. What outdoor rated smart products did you have in mind?
Smart home cameras.
There's a pretty simple solution there. USB-IF could just specify a waterproof connector. They could even make a waterproof housing that could slip over an existing USB-C.
And if USB-IF decides not to?
India always have been a huge market for slightly old models; which are more affordable. Anyone who wants an iPhone can't afford the latest because of the price tag.
