Safety Standard for Lithium-Ion Batteries Used in Micromobility Products and Electrical Systems of Micromobility Products Containing Such Batteries
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (Commission or CPSC) is providing an opportunity for interested parties to present oral comments on the notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) (notified as G/TBT/N/USA/2293) the Commission issued for a safety standard for lithium-ion batteries. Oral presentations must be limited to matters within the scope of the NPRM. Any oral comments will become part of the rulemaking record. The virtual meeting will begin at 10 a.m. Eastern Time on 21 October 2026. Any individual interested in making an oral presentation must submit a request to make an oral presentation to the Office of the Secretary, along with the written text of the oral presentation.

Documents are also accessible from Regulations.gov by searching the Docket Number.
Notice of proposed rulemaking - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issues this notice of proposed rulemaking (NPR) to address the unreasonable risk of death and injury associated with lithium-ion batteries used in micromobility products due to hazards such as thermal runaway of lithium cells, which can lead to fires, explosions, gas releases, burns, overheating, and smoke inhalation. The NPR proposes that electrical systems using lithium-ion batteries in micromobility products comply with applicable voluntary standards, with modifications. Because some micromobility products are children's products requiring third party testing, the NPR also proposes to add this rule to the list of rules that require such testing.
