I’m not sure if English is your first language, but that’s not the exact wording from the document.
Emphasis mine:
To ensure the safety of end-users, this Regulation should provide for a limited derogation
for portable batteries from the removability and replaceability requirements set for portable
batteries concerning appliances that incorporate portable batteries and that are specifically
designed to be used, for the majority of the active service of the appliance, in an
environment that is regularly subject to splashing water, water streams or water immersion
and that are intended to be washable or rinseable.
To me this would be things meant to be used in and around water (underwater cameras, water sensors, etc.), not water-resistant devices like smartphones that aren’t specifically designed to be used in that kind of environment.
