Update time : 2025-02-25

UL 2849 is a safety standard developed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) in the United States, specifically designed for electric personal mobility devices, such as electric bicycles (e-bikes) and electric scooters (e-scooters). This standard covers various safety requirements related to the electrical system, battery management system, mechanical structure, environmental adaptability, and more, with the goal of ensuring the safety of these devices during use.

 

Amazon requires that all electric bicycles undergo testing and comply with the following specific regulations or standard requirements:

 

All of the following:

1. Title 16 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, Part 1512 (Bicycle Requirements);

 

One of the following:

- ANSI/CAN/UL 2849 (Electric Bicycle Electrical System Standard);

- ANSI/CAN/UL 2272 (Personal Electric Rideshare Vehicle Electrical System Standard);

- EN 15194 (European Electric Bicycle Safety Standard).

 

Key Elements of UL 2849:

1. Electrical Safety:

 - Ensures the electrical system is designed to meet safety standards to prevent issues such as short circuits, overloads, and overheating.

 - The Battery Management System (BMS) must include overcharge, overdischarge, overcurrent, and temperature protection features.

 

2. Mechanical Safety:

 - The device's structural design must meet strength and durability requirements to ensure it does not break or suffer damage under normal use or accidental circumstances.

 - Key components such as the braking system, frame, and wheels must undergo rigorous testing.

 

3. Environmental Adaptability:

 - The device must function properly under various environmental conditions (e.g., high/low temperatures, humidity, etc.).

 - Waterproof and dustproof capabilities must also meet specified standards.

 

4. Fire Safety:

 - Batteries and electrical systems must possess fire-resistant properties to prevent fires caused by battery malfunctions.

 

5. Labels and Documentation:

 - Clear safety warnings and operating instructions must be provided to ensure proper use by consumers.

 

Market Entry Requirements for Electric Bicycles in the U.S.:

Electric bicycles entering the U.S. market face strict market entry barriers, requiring compliance with the UL 2849 safety standard. The UL 2849 standard encompasses product safety, battery management system (BMS), software evaluation, and functional safety requirements. It also includes safety standards for components such as controllers, motors, and chargers. In the North American market, many retailers and regulatory agencies require electric bicycles and e-scooters to be UL 2849 certified before they can be sold. Products that achieve UL 2849 certification have undergone rigorous safety testing, providing consumers with greater confidence in their use.
