Example
Vehicle and transport standards: an example situation
Shipping tests and vehicle battery approval tests address different uses; passing one does not automatically satisfy another.
Read UN Regulation No. 136 alongside Micromobility in this context. E-bikes, e-scooters and small motorcycles with packs of 0.3–3 kWh built from cylindrical cells. Their packs are cheap and often charged indoors, which is why they feature disproportionately in fire statistics.
