UL 2849 is the gold standard certification. You can also ask to see the battery’s UN 38.3 certification, which is required for transport of lithium ion batteries internationally.

For car and other lion batteries yes there are, but ebikes are just off the shelf batteries that are shipped with no certifications they just work.
