Ion system nfpa.
The new nfpa 855 standard proves safety guidance for using lithium ion batteries in ups systems which provide a secondary source of power in data centers in the event of an outage.
Ignition and reignition issues with the batteries in electric vehicles are also concerns for energy storage systems.

Nfpa 704 fire diamond for li ion batteries.
Nfpa 855 includes new design and testing protocols for lithium ion ups systems.
But data center professionals say the standard has been broadened in ways that could alter current practices in deploying other types of data center ups systems and could potentially be applied to existing facilities.
Furthering the nfpa mission.
An assumption with nfpa 855 is that it applies only to lithium ion battery ess but that is incorrect the scope is much broader than that.

Li ion tamer was chosen to speak in front of the nfpa 855 committee because of our innovative approaches to increase the safety of lithium ion battery systems.
For these kinds of storage scenarios nfpa 13 4 and fm global s property loss prevention data sheets 5 will provide directions on how to successfully protect cartoned lithium ion batteries.
Committee members and other innovators invited to speak come from industry leaders such as nyfd tesla dnv gl and many others.
The scope of nfpa 855 applies to several technologies and to energy storage systems of a certain size or capacity.
