Energy Storage | UL Standards & Engagement
A key focus of National Fire Protection Association NFPA 855 and fire codes is mitigating the fire and explosion risks associated with battery systems, including uninterruptible power supplies and battery
We work with system integrators and OEMs to better understand and address energy storage systems issues. UL can test your large energy storage systems (ESS) based on UL 9540 and provide ESS certification to help identify the safety and performance of your system.
UL Solutions' services cover the energy storage industry's entire value chain. We are a leader in safety testing and certification for battery technology. Our performance testing offerings include competitive benchmarking, charge/discharge and overcharge tests, as well as environmental and altitude simulation for system integrators.
Explicitly cited in NFPA 855 for large-scale fire testing and is the only national standard in the U.S. and Canada for fire safety testing methods for battery ESS. Learn more UL 1973, The Standard for Batteries for Use in Stationary and Motive Auxiliary Power Applications.
“BATTERY ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM (BESS)” - Stationary equipment that receives electrical energy and then utilizes batteries to store that energy to supply electrical energy at some future time. The BESS, at a minimum consists of one or more modules, a power conditioning system (PCS), battery management system (BMS) and balance of plant components.
