While NFPA 855 is a standard and not a code, its provisions are enforced by NFPA 1, Fire Code, in which Chapter 52 outlines requirements, along with references to specific sections in NFPA 855.
Contact UsBuilding codes: Battery energy storage systems (BESS) must comply with local building codes and fire safety regulations, which can vary across different geographies and municipalities. These codes are governed by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) in the U.S. and the performance-based European Standards (EN) in the European Union.
UL 1973: Batteries for Use in Stationary and Motive Auxiliary Power Applications. Safety standard for modules and battery systems used in stationary energy storage systems. UL 9540, Energy Storage Systems and Equipment. Safety standard for energy storage systems used with renewable energy sources such as solar and wind.
The following regulations address Fire and Life Safety requirements: California Fire Code (CFC) 2022, Section 1207, Electrical Energy Storage Systems; California Electrical Code (CEC) 2022, Article 706, Energy Storage Systems and NFPA-111 Standard on Stored Electrical Energy Emergency and Stand-by Power Systems.
The regulatory and compliance landscape for battery energy storage is complex and varies significantly across jurisdictions, types of systems and the applications they are used in. Technological innovation, as well as new challenges with interoperability and system-level integration, can also amplify risks.
