Overview:Electric scooter and skateboard are included under UL 2271 and UL 2272 when certificated in North America. Here is the introduction, on the range they cover and requirements, of distinctions between UL 2271 and UL 2272:
UL 2272 is available for personal mobile devices, such as: electric scooters and balance cars.
From the standard scope, UL 2271 is the battery standard, and UL 2272 is the device standard. When doing the device certification of UL 2272, does the battery need to be certified to UL 2271 first?
Cell: lithium-ion cells must meet the requirements of UL 2580 or UL 2271;
Battery: If the battery meets the requirements of UL 2271, it can be exempted from the tests for overcharge, short-circuit, over-discharge and unbalanced charging.
It can be seen that if the lithium battery is used in the equipment that is applicable to UL 2272, it is not necessary to do UL 2271 certification, but the cell needs to meet the requirements of UL 2580 or UL 2271.
