The Importance of Functional Safety in Batteries and Micromobility Products

Micromobility products are rapidly growing in popularity and diversity. And to keep pace with these innovative products entering the market, new standards are emerging to evaluate the safety of the battery and its electrical and charging systems.

At UL, we assess the safety of the battery packs and battery management systems to minimize the potential risk of fire, explosion and electric shock during real-world use for e-bikes, hoverboards, electric scooters and other electric personal transporters.

View this recorded webinar to learn about the importance of functional safety in batteries and micromobility products, including:

  • How EU and U.S. safety standards for batteries and micromobility products reference functional safety requirements
  • Applying hazard analysis and risk assessment techniques to identify safety functions
  • Development process techniques that improve software quality
