It sounds complying UL 2272 still fails to convince stopping catch fire 
completely.  Let see later how the new products perform.

While NRTLs are allowed to apply just about any standard deemed 'necessary', 
should be noted that 2272 not yet recognized by ANSI. My opinion - no 
discernable rationale for a new and separate safety standard for 
"electric-powered self-balancing scooters". The 2272 proposed standard is 
essentially make-work and worthless because it purposely ignored assessment of 
the product category's principle defining features.

Perhaps UL had no choice because the UL696 scope is worthless for other than AC 
-mains connected stuff. But it does have this statement:
"For a toy that mimics the form or function of an established general-use 
appliance, the established requirements applicable to the general-use appliance 
shall be considered in defining the particular requirements applicable to the 
toy."

In any case look at EN15194 and 50272-3, and UL2271 and 2580.

Subject: [PSES] Applicable standards for hoverboard in EU

Within EU, the most relevant directive for hoverboard is MD 2006/42/EC.  What 
is the applicable standard to evaluate the mechanical part?

Is it possible to use UL 2272 that is the latest US standard for this type of 
product?  The new cast directive allows to use national standard if there is no 
harmonized standard. 

In electrical part and charger, should we apply EN 60204-1 or EN 60950-1 and EN 
60335-2-29 or EN 61558-2-6?

If there is remote control via Bluetooth with mobile phone, should RED/R&TTED 
be applied instead of all above standards for electrical part?

Your guidance on compliance with this type of products is appreciated!

Thanks and regards,

Scott
