New York City Law Mandates UL-Certification For All E-Mobility Devices via insideevs.com
It goes without saying that electric bicycles, scooters, and other personal mobility devices are changing the landscape of transportation across the world. This is especially true in large, densely occupied urban cities. The benefits are seemingly endless, with improved mobility, zero emissions, better health, and lower costs only beginning to scratch the surface.
In recent years, however, an issue surrounding the safety of battery-powered personal mobility devices has caused a lot of concern: fires. Indeed, while lithium-ion batteries are sophisticated, high-tech devices that are generally safe, there have been occasions wherein, for whatever reason, they've malfunctioned and started fires.
Of course, there are standards in place which guarantee the safety of batteries, as well as other electronic components of electric mobility devices. One of the widest, most accepted certification is that of Underwriter Laboratories , one of the oldest safety certification authorities in operation.
With all that on the table, the law surrounding mandatory UL-certification is a solid first step, as the certification doesn't cover just the battery, but the motor, controller, and the chargers, as well.
