It had been in the works for a while, but now it has formally been adopted. From the article:

The regulation provides that by 2027 portable batteries incorporated into appliances should be removable and replaceable by the end-user, leaving sufficient time for operators to adapt the design of their products to this requirement.

      This isn’t true. You just have to hold the hardware restart combination for longer.

      Pretty sure if you hold power and sounds button there is an hardware feature that shutdown the everything and reboot.
