The Philippine Department of Trade and Industry proposes mandatory safety certification for electric bicycles, light electric vehicles, and their batteries to protect consumers from electrical hazards and fires. The certification requires compliance with Philippine National Standards and has opened a public consultation for stakeholder feedback until December 13, 2026.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Micromobility.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You must prepare for new certification requirements that block uncertified e-bikes and batteries from the Philippine market. This is a direct compliance wall and a chance to lead on safety standards in your supply chain.
