Dunno, depends on safety standard for the end-use equipment, and where placed on market. For example, both 60950 and 60065 talk about equipment with installed batteries, where some of the clauses apply to any battery chemistry.
Generic requirements for US would be UL2054 for much non-industrial stuff, and IEC62133 (but seems focused on Li) most elsewhere. For medical stuff, FDA wants you to have either 1642 (Li only) or 2054 certification. The other biggie for batteries is UN/IATA transport requirements.

This product uses Ni-metal hydride rechargable batteries. All the certification focus seemed to have moved to Li based batteries with not a lot of concern for older constructions. The cert lab enginer, however, wants full pedigree papers for the batteries - which the mfgr feels is not needed.
