The NSW Government is seeking feedback on a draft Information Standard for e-micromobility products under the Fair Trading Regulation 2019 (the Regulation).
E-micromobility products include e-scooters, e-bikes, e-skateboards, self-balancing hoverboards and their associated chargers.
The following documents are available for feedback:
- The draft Information Standard will require essential safety information to be provided to consumers at the time of sale under the Regulation.
- The Regulatory Impact Statement (RIS) sets out details for the draft Information Standard, including the types of information suppliers will need to provide to consumers.
- The draft Information Standard Template is an example of a template that suppliers can adapt to provide the information required under the Information Standard.
The Information Standard complements the product quality requirements that will be in place from next year.
These controls aim to reduce the risk of fires by improving awareness of safe use practices and addressing risky consumer behaviour.
Provide feedback about the design, content and implementation of the draft Information Standard, including any matters raised in the RIS and draft template, by 6 December 2024. You can access the various draft documents and make a submission here.
