Recital 40
(40) For repaired electric vehicle batteries and SLI batteries, the safety requirements of General Vehicle Safety Regulation (GVSR) of the European Parliament and of the Council apply to type-approved vehicles of categories M, N and O and batteries designed and constructed for those vehicles. It is important that the safety of such batteries when repaired can be assessed based on non-destructive tests adapted to them. For repaired LMT batteries, the Commission will prepare rules on the safety of micromobility devices, building on experience at national and local levels of safety requirements, as announced in the communication of the Commission of 14 December 2021 on ‘The new EU Urban Mobility Framework’. For other repaired batteries intended for consumers or likely to be used by them, the requirements of General Product Safety Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council apply.
