Conformity with EN61000-3-3 need only to be *test* if the charger is
'likely' to cause flicker. It most probably isn't, so is deemed to
conform.

We are not told the current or power rating of the charger. If it is
less than 75 W, it is deemed to conform with EN61000-3-2. Above 75 W,
the Class A limits apply.
