Does higher charge current complicate compliance issues?

In general yes. With regards to safety higher current translates into larger and usually hotter power sub-systems and/or components. Mechanical fixes for removing heat from the system often end with vents and fans. In cases where AC/DC conversion is done in the same enclosure safety concerns related to a device as a “fire enclosure” can seriously complicate enclosure design and cost when venting or fan apertures are required. In addition higher current going through the power switch infers more work and countermeasures will be required to meet limits of both conducted and radiated EMI.
