Yes, there are additional safety standards for lithium-ion batteries used in energy storage systems beyond the general standards like UL 1642 and IEC 62133. Here are some notable ones:
Additional Safety Standards for Energy Storage Systems
- NFPA 855: This standard from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) provides guidelines for the safe installation of energy storage systems (ESS), including those using lithium-ion batteries. It outlines requirements for the separation of battery groups, maximum stored energy limits, and fire detection systems.
- PGS37-1: Developed in the Netherlands, PGS37-1 is a set of guidelines focused on ensuring the safe operation and storage of energy systems, particularly those utilizing lithium-ion batteries. It emphasizes preventing fires and protecting surrounding areas by establishing specific safety standards for larger energy storage systems.
- Transportation Standards (UN/DOT 38.3): While primarily focused on transportation, UN/DOT 38.3 also impacts the safety of lithium-ion batteries in energy storage systems by ensuring that batteries used in these systems meet rigorous transportation safety tests, reducing risks during movement.
These standards complement the existing general safety standards for lithium-ion batteries to enhance safety in specific applications like energy storage.
