What are battery-related fire codes and standards?
For several decades, governing bodies such as the International Fire Code (IFC), National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and Underwriters Laboratory (UL) have released battery-related fire codes and standards to ensure and improve public health and safety by establishing minimum standards for fire prevention and protection.
What standards are used in a battery room?
Common standards in the battery room include those from American Society of Testing Materials (ASTM) and Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). Model codes are standards developed by committees with the intent to be adopted by states and local jurisdictions.
What is battery energy storage fire prevention & mitigation?
In 2019, EPRI began the Battery Energy Storage Fire Prevention and Mitigation – Phase I research project, convened a group of experts, and conducted a series of energy storage site surveys and industry workshops to identify critical research and development (R&D) needs regarding battery safety.
What are the NFPA 855 fire-fighting considerations for lithium-ion batteries?
For example, an extract of Annex C Fire-Fighting Considerations (Operations) in NFPA 855 states the following in C.5.1 Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) Batteries: Water is considered the preferred agent for suppressing lithium-ion battery fires.
What is the NFPA 855 standard for stationary energy storage systems?
Setting up minimum separation from walls, openings, and other structural elements. The National Fire Protection Association NFPA 855 Standard for the Installation of Stationary Energy Storage Systems provides the minimum requirements for mitigating hazards associated with ESS of diferent battery types.
What is a standard in battery testing?
In layman's terms, a standard provides minimum requirements and/or instructions in agreement within the industry for common reference. Common standards in the battery room include those from American Society of Testing Materials (ASTM) and Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE).
