UL 9540A Battery Energy Storage System (ESS) Test Method. Battery explosions and fires are a serious concern. Fire safety requirements have been updated in the latest model code requirements for ESS installations.
We perform the evaluation, testing and certification, and standards solutions your battery and energy storage products require, leveraging our IECEE CB Scheme accreditation (which allows you to access up to 70 countries) and CSA
For stationary lithium-ion batteries, TÜV SÜD tests your products according to IEC 62619. This standard addresses safety testing at cell level. It includes tests for short circuits, overcharging,
TORAGE SYSTEMS 1.1 IntroductionEnergy Storage Systems (“ESS”) is a group of systems put together that can store and elease energy as and when required. It is essential in enabling the energy transition to a more sustainable energy mix by incorporating more renewable energy sources that are intermittent
We conduct custom research to help identify and address the unique performance and safety issues associated with large energy storage systems. Research offerings include: 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.
The requirements were designed to evaluate the fire characteristics of a battery ESS that undergoes thermal runaway. The data generated was intended to be used to determine the fire and explosion protection required for an installation of a battery energy storage system.
There is a responsibility to guarantee the safety of these systems, not only for daily operation but also in the face of adverse conditions or unforeseen events. Fire hazards, thermal runaway and other risks associated with energy storage systems must be thoroughly understood and mitigated to ensure public safety and prevent costly incidents.
The Standard covers a comprehensive review of energy storage systems, covering charging and discharging, protection, control, communication between devices, fluids movement and other aspects.
We are able to test primary and secondary (rechargeable) batteries with chemistries including alkaline, lithium-ion (Li-ion), nickel metal hydride (NiMH), lead acid, and nickel-cadmium (NiCd) as well as newer technologies such as zinc-based and flow batteries.
We are deeply committed to excellence in all our endeavors.
Since we maintain control over our products, our customers can be assured of nothing but the best quality at all times.
