I guess you speaking about objects as buildings and houses, offices emergency lights, not for cars, buses, and other dedicated special venhicles, such as airport venhicles, fire department venhicles, medical, military, road maintance, ....

Also you didnt specify standards for which country. You should know that some countries prohibit imports of products with toxic materials, such as NiCd, Lithium, Lead ..... but special papers can be issued like for lithium based batteries or uC with lithium battery inside.... (Lead-Free/RoHS)


If you plan to import NiCd in EU or whant to drive in full truck with NiCd batteries, or worst scenario to produce something with thise :
