iLabs is closing webshop orders from the EU

As of the 9th of August 2026, the iLabs webshop will no longer accept orders from EU countries.

Over the years we have continuously followed and implemented each new EU regulation as it arrived, extended CE directives, RED, RoHS, REACH, WEEE, and more, absorbing the cost of compliance ourselves rather than passing it on to our customers. With the arrival of the new Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) and its Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) schemes, which require sellers to register, report, and pay fees separately in every EU country they ship to, we have reached the point where a company of our size simply cannot keep up anymore. The cost and administrative burden is now out of proportion to our direct sales volume, and with further regulation already on the way, we have decided to stop direct EU sales.

For now you can still get our products

The full Challenger range remains available through our distributor The Pi Hut, who still ships internationally.

All orders placed before the cutoff (9th of August 2026) will be fulfilled as normal, and warranty and support for products already sold remain unchanged.

Thank you to everyone in the EU who has supported us over the years.

The iLabs team

Worlds first Challenger class board with the ST87M01 NB-IoT/GPS board.

No Wi-Fi ? No problemo. The new Challenger+ RP2350 NB-IoT puts a full cellular uplink, GNSS positioning, and the dual-core RP2350 on a single Feather-sized board. Drop in a SIM, and your project can phone home from a rooftop, a forest, or the middle of a field — for years on a single battery. Asset tracking, smart metering, remote sensing: if it needs to report in from somewhere Wi-Fi doesn’t reach, this is the board.

Take me there, asap !
