EN 15194 β EN 50604-1. So which one does your e-bike need? ππ²
If you're an e-bike OEM or battery buyer entering the European market, this is an important distinction to understand.
EN 15194 looks at the whole e-bike.
EN 50604-1 looks specifically at the battery.
And for battery sourcing, simply asking a supplier, βIs your battery CE certified?β may not be enough.
You should also ask:
β
Does the battery comply with EN 50604-1?
β
Can you provide the relevant test reports?
β
Can the battery be integrated into an EN 15194-compliant e-bike?
β
Can you support system-level certification?
With European battery safety requirements evolving, choosing the right battery partner early can help avoid costly redesigns and certification delays later.
Weβve put together a practical guide covering EN 50604-1 vs EN 15194, including the differences, relationship, compliance timeline, and key considerations for B2B buyers.
