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. 91 FR 38162 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2026-06-24/2026-12749 2026-12749 fr24jn26-25 RIN 3041-AE10 6355-01-P CPSC Docket No. CPSC-2025-0012 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2026-06-24/2026-12749 https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-06-24/html/2026-12749.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-06-24/pdf/2026-12749.pdf Administrative Practice and Procedure Audit Consumer Protection Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements Third Party Conformity Assessment Body Bicycles Chargers Electronic Mobility Imports Incorporation by Reference Infants and Children Lithium-Ion Batteries Micromobility Products Personal Emobility Products Scooters Self-Balancing Scooters Skateboards Unicycles 66 p. 38162 38227 91 FR 38162 Title 16 Part 1112 16 CFR Part 1112 Title 16 Part 1265 16 CFR Part 1265 RIN 3041-AE10 Safety Standard for Lithium-Ion Batteries Used in Micromobility Products and Electrical Systems of Micromobility Products Containing Such Batteries; Federal Register Vol. 91, Issue PRORULE 2026-12749 IV CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION 2026-08-24 CPSC Docket No. CPSC-2025-0012 6355-01-P 2026-12749 Notice of proposed rulemaking.
