6 Frequently Asked Questions about “Energy Storage Firewall Design Requirements and Standards”

Are electrochemical energy storage systems ul 9540 certified?

As a basis, electrochemical energy storage systems are required to be listed to UL 9540 per NFPA 855, the International Fire Code, and the California Fire Code. As part of UL 9540, lithium-ion based ESS are required to meet the standards of UL 1973 for battery systems and UL 1642 for lithium batteries.

What if the energy storage system and component standards are not identified?

Table 3.1. Energy Storage System and Component Standards 2. If relevant testing standards are not identified, it is possible they are under development by an SDO or by a third-party testing entity that plans to use them to conduct tests until a formal standard has been developed and approved by an SDO.

Do energy storage systems need a CSR?

Until existing model codes and standards are updated or new ones developed and then adopted, one seeking to deploy energy storage technologies or needing to verify an installation's safety may be challenged in applying current CSRs to an energy storage system (ESS).

Do electric energy storage systems need to be tested?

It is recognized that electric energy storage equipment or systems can be a single device providing all required functions or an assembly of components, each having limited functions. Components having limited functions shall be tested for those functions in accordance with this standard.

What are the electrical installation requirements for inverter energy systems?

This Standard specifies the electrical installation requirements for inverter energy systems and grid protection devices with ratings up to 10 kVA for single-phase units, or up to 30 kVA for three-phase units, for the injection of electric power through an electrical installation to the electricity distribution network.

Should ESS develop a pre-standard or a model code?

draft document and work it through the SDO process. For new standards or model codes, it would be advantageous for the ESS industry to develop a pre-standard, protocol, or guideline that can address any immediate need for safety-related criteria and also serve as a first draft of a standard or model code.
