Beijing Electric Bicycle Indoor Parking and Charging Punishments Have Laws to Follow, Starting from Ming Dynasty
The Regulations on the Main Responsibility for Fire Safety of Units in Beijing will be officially implemented from September 1st. One innovation of the Regulations is that they clearly regulate the behavior of indoor parking and charging of electric bicycles at the legal level, making it easier for grassroots implementation.
The Beijing Municipal Government Information Office held a press conference on the "Regulations" today. Li Yunhao, Chief Engineer of the Beijing Fire Rescue Brigade, introduced that the issue of illegal parking and charging of electric bicycles was previously prompted and dissuaded through documents or promotional materials. This time, the "Regulations" are mainly reflected in three aspects: first, requiring units to set up parking and charging places in accordance with the local standard "Fire Protection Design Standards for Electric Bicycle Parking Places" in Beijing, so that electric bicycles can be safely and compliantly parked or charged. Any place that does not meet the standards, whether in the office or underground garage, is considered to be illegally parked or charged inside the building. Secondly, it stipulates the responsibilities of units to stop illegal parking and charging of electric bicycles. Units can take technical preventive measures such as elevator obstruction, battery positioning, and electronic fences to regulate the parking and charging behavior of electric bicycles. Thirdly, if the unit fails to take measures to stop it, it shall be ordered to make corrections within a specified time limit in accordance with the law; Those who fail to make corrections within the prescribed time limit shall be fined between 1000 yuan and 10000 yuan.
Li Yunhao stated that the legislation of the "Regulations" this time adheres to the idea of putting the people at the center, focuses on the main problems and weak links of fire safety work in this city, constructs a sound social unit fire safety main responsibility system, further improves the endogenous mechanism of "safety self inspection, hidden danger self removal, and self responsibility", fully stimulates the subjective initiative of social units to carry out independent management, and is of great significance for further consolidating the foundation of social fire prevention and control and effectively curbing the occurrence of fire accidents. After the release of the Regulations, government departments at all levels, state organs, people's organizations, enterprises, institutions, and other organizations, as well as individual industrial and commercial households with fixed business premises, must do a good job in learning, promoting, and implementing the Regulations.
