US-based safety and certification organization UL Solutions has expanded its battery-powered vehicle certification services to electric motorcycles and scooters, as well as construction, agriculture and mining vehicles.

These new services will test whether vehicle electrical systems meet the requirements of UL 2850, the Outline of Investigation for Vehicle Systems of Electric Scooters and Motorcycles, or UL 2701, the Outline of Investigation for Electrical Systems for Construction, Agriculture and Mining (CAM) Vehicles.

The two certifications cover battery management systems and thermal runaway risks, as well as tests for critical safety circuits used to help power the vehicles, functional safety, component reliability, and electrical, mechanical and environmental testing that emulates real-world weather conditions.
