CPSC + EU EN 15194 + e-bike Class 1/2/3 compliance, what does Magento need to handle?

Q: CPSC + EU EN 15194 + e-bike Class 1/2/3 compliance, what does Magento need to handle?

Three regimes, all relevant if you ship internationally:CPSC (US), 16 CFR Part 1512 covers braking, reflectors, frame integrity for all bikes sold in the US. Every bike SKU needs a CPSC-compliant assembly + reflector set in the box. Magento attribute flag cpsc_compliant + manual QA gate before activating SKU.EU EN 15194 (e-bikes), harmonized standard for electrically-assisted pedal cycles (EPAC). Max 250W continuous motor, max 25 km/h assist cutoff (US Class 1 = 20 mph = 32 km/h, so a US Class 1 e-bike is NOT EN 15194 compliant; you need a region-specific SKU). Magento attribute en_15194 flag + region-restricted SKU visibility via multi-store views.E-bike class 1/2/3 (US), defined by state law, mostly aligned to PeopleForBikes model legislation. Class 1 = pedal-assist 20 mph. Class 2 = throttle 20 mph. Class 3 = pedal-assist 28 mph (restricted to roads/bike lanes; banned on most multi-use paths). NY and NJ have stricter sub-rules. Magento attribute assist_class + zip-based warning modal.For multi-region cycling brands: separate Magento store views per region (US / EU / UK / AU), region-specific SKUs flagged at the attribute level, source-selection routes the right SKU to the right region. Compliance docs (CE mark, EN 15194 cert PDF) attached to each EU SKU as downloadable assets on PDP.
