HR 973 United States House · 119th Congress

Setting Consumer Standards for Lithium-Ion Batteries Act

This bill requires the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to adopt specific existing safety standards for lithium-ion batteries used in e-bikes, scooters, and other personal micromobility devices within 180 days of enactment. It mandates that these standards apply only to consumer products as defined by federal law, directly affecting manufacturers of such devices. The bill also establishes a process for the CPSC to review future revisions to these voluntary standards and requires a report to Congress within five years detailing battery-related fire or explosion incidents involving these products. The law aims to standardize safety requirements without creating new rules, relying instead on established industry guidelines.
