The dangers of hazardous battery materials and the risk of electrocution prompted new industry standards for safer battery storage containers. Learn more about the standard safety criteria and how to stay compliant while reducing your risk of lithium battery fire or environmental contamination.
Energy storage systems, typically made of lead-acid or lithium-based batteries, provide backup power at hospitals and healthcare facilities, factories, and retail locations. They also regulate and clean grid power for data centers. Finally, energy storage systems offload energy when renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power generation, are unavailable.
To help prevent battery fires and ensure workplace safety, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) released NFPA 855, Standard for the Installation of Stationary Energy Storage Systems. It is the first comprehensive collection of criteria for the fire protection of energy storage system (ESS) installations. These standard criteria provide requirements based on:
Stay compliant with NFPA 855 standards for energy storage systems and lithium battery safe storage by using fire-rated storage buildings designed to keep property, people, and the environment as safe as possible.
Compliance requires mitigating the risk of fire, death, and environmental contamination from concentrated batteries or lithium-ion batteries. Polystar’s lithium battery storage container meets worker protection and environmental regulations. Our prefabricated battery storage container offers a unique fire-rated design that satisfies the requirements of the:
Like any structure, strength and durability start with a quality foundation. Polystar hazmat storage buildings use a sump foundation constructed with a heavy-duty I-beam. Our integrated sump foundation provides superior strength and reliable spill containment. Like our fire rating, the integrated sump is a vital component that ensures you stay compliant with our hazmat storage buildings. Easily modify our battery storage containers to address your unique workforce or industry needs.
