NFPA 855 SAFETY STANDARDS
Standards for land-based energy storage containers
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability Energy Storage Systems Program, with the support of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) and Sandia National Laboratories (SNL), and in collaboration with a number of stakeholders, developed a protocol (i.e., pre-standard) for measuring and expressing the performance characteristics for energy storage systems.

Safety requirements for energy storage power supply
The standard covers the design, construction, testing, and operation of ESSs and imposes stringent requirements for electrical safety, thermal safety, mechanical safety, fire safety, system performance, system reliability, and documentation.UL954 is widely recognized as the benchmark for ESS safety and performance and is accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the Standards Council of Canada (SCC).
