Energy Storage Safety Codes, Standards, & Regulations
We facilitate the early adoption of energy storage technologies in support of the U.S. Department of Energy''s (DOE) goals of an equitable, clean, resilient, and secure grid of the future.
Energy storage systems continue to be a rapidly evolving industry. Thus, the key to safe and up-to-date compliance requirements involves the adoption and application of codes and standards in addition to the development or writing of codes and standards.
In some contexts, for energy storage systems, compliance regulations take the form of a state adopting a code, which then references and requires testing and listing or adherence to a standard. Some cities, counties, and special administrative districts (e.g., school or sewer districts) also adopt locally amended codes for their environments.
ndards, there are significant restrictions on some Energy Storage technologies. Any technology not explicitly listed in the relevant tables (Table 9.4.1 in NFPA 855-2023, and Table 1207.5 in IFC 2021), and even some of those listed but not specified as having an unlimited allowable
