● Effective Immediately all ITLs authorized to test USB PD are now authorized to test USB PD with EPR.

● Please note the following restrictions:

• The USB-IF is not certifying products with more than one EPR capable source port at this time.
• What this means is a product may be multi-port and have only one EPR capable source port but it may have more than one EPR capable sink port. Products may also have an SPR capable source port and an EPR capable source port.
