1 Scope

1.1 These requirements cover the electrical drive train system including the battery system, other circuitry and electrical components for electric powered scooters and other devices to be referred to as personal e-mobility devices as defined in this Standard.

1.2 This standard is intended for evaluation of the safety of the electrical drive train system and battery and charger combination for energy and electrical shock hazards and does not evaluate the performance or reliability of these devices. In addition, it does not evaluate the physical hazards that may be associated with the use of personal e-mobility devices.
