The NSW Government is looking to combat the fastest-growing cause of fires by implementing new product standards for lithium-ion batteries.
NSW Fire and Rescue recorded more than 90 incidences over the 2022-23 period with fires caused by lithium-ion battery powered products and, it continues to escalate.
In response to the growing incidences, NSW Government is taking a proactive stance to ensure products comply with safety standards and are appropriately tested, certified and marked before they enter the market.
When these changes come into effect suppliers, both corporations and individuals, who do not comply will incur heavy penalties.
The prevention of fires, saving lives and protecting property are high on the agenda for the NSW Government as the reality is that e-bikes, e-scooters and other e-devices are here to stay.
