Let's collect some information so we can connect you with the right person. 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.
Global changes in energy generation and delivery have made Energy Storage Systems (ESS) crucial. CSA Group can evaluate and test your ESS at our advanced laboratories or in the field so you can provide an uninterrupted and safe supply of energy for your customers. Standards offer enormous quality, safety and sustainability benefits.
The Test Method for Evaluating Thermal Runaway Fire Propagation in Battery Energy Storage Systems, is explicitly cited in NFPA 855 for large-scale fire testing and is the only national standard in the U.S. and Canada for fire safety testing methods for battery ESS (learn more here).
A single piece of equipment shall go through type tests, production tests, installation evaluation, and commissioning tests as a whole.
By incorporating fire, environmental, and mechanical stress testing, the standard supports risk mitigation strategies, making ESS projects more insurable. The structured testing process strives to reduce liability concerns, helping provide a higher level of confidence for financial backers and investors.
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.
