How safety standards support e-Mobility innovation

Join this webinar to learn about the role of safety standards in protecting innovation, the importance of international standards harmonization, and how to engage in the standards development process.  

As more e-mobility devices saturate the global market, news stories about fires caused by lithium-ion batteries, which power most rechargeable devises, are also on the rise. This stead increase has prompted many municipalities worldwide to propose a ban on e-mobility devices, cutting off access to a means of transportation many residents depend on. Bans are not the solution as they restrict innovation and may push people towards more polluting forms of transport. Implementing safety standards, therefore, is critical for ensuring this technology can be used widely and safely.    

Safety standards, developed by a broad spectrum of experts, provide construction, performance, marking, and instruction requirements that make a product or system as safe as possible.  ULSE has several safety standards pertaining to e-bikes, e-mobility devices, charging networks, and lithium-ion batteries that are designed to protect the user should the product malfunction.

Learn about the importance of considering safety early in the development process and how ULSE contributes to the global development of effective safety standards and codes to serve as a trusted partner through the sharing of our research, standards and safety information.
