Standard for the Installation of Stationary Energy Storage Systems—provides mandatory requirements for, and explanations of, the safety strategies and features of energy storage
Some requirements can be similar or the same; others can be very different; e.g.: Electrolyzers and gas storage have similar setback distances and vent pipe requirements
The fueling station must include a vent provision capable of discharg-ing the entire contents of the vehicle fuel storage to the atmosphere in safe location and manner.
However, many designers and installers, especially those new to energy storage systems, are unfamiliar with the fire and building codes pertaining to battery installations. Another code-making body is the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). Some states adopt the NFPA 1 Fire Code rather than the IFC.
1203.1 General. Emergency power systems and standby power systems required by this code or the International Building Code shall comply with Sections 1203.1.1 through 1203.1.9. 1203.1.1 Stationary generators. Stationary emergency and standby power generators required by this code shall be listed in accordance with UL 2200.
In Group I-2 occupancies, emergency and standby power systems shall be maintained in accordance with NFPA 99. 1203.4.2 Schedule. Inspection, testing and maintenance of emergency and standby power systems shall be in accordance with an approved schedule established upon completion and approval of the system installation.
Electrical wiring and equipment used in connection with energy systems shall be installed and maintained in accordance with Chapter 12 and NFPA 70. 1201.3 Mixed system installation. Where approved, the aggregate kWh energy in a fire area shall not exceed the maximum quantity specified for any of the energy systems in this chapter.
