4 FAQs about Lithium-ion battery energy storage standards

What are the OSHA standards for lithium-ion batteries?

While there is not a specific OSHA standard for lithium-ion batteries, many of the OSHA general industry standards may apply, as well as the General Duty Clause (Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970). These include, but are not limited to the following standards:

What is a battery energy storage system?

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) stabilize the electrical grid, ensuring a steady flow of power to homes and businesses regardless of fluctuations from varied energy sources or other disruptions. However, fires at some BESS installations have caused concern in communities considering BESS as a method to support their grids.

Are lithium-ion batteries safe?

Homeowners increasingly adopt lithium-ion batteries for solar energy storage, backup power, and energy efficiency. These systems, when installed according to NFPA 855, minimize risks such as fire or thermal runaway. Proper ventilation, fire safety measures, and adherence to spacing requirements ensure safe operation.

What are the NFPA requirements for lithium ion batteries?

NFPA mandates a minimum clearance between battery units to reduce the risk of fire propagation. Environmental Conditions: Maintain optimal temperature and humidity levels to prevent battery degradation. For instance, lithium-ion batteries perform best within a temperature range of 20°C to 25°C.
