Adoption includes what happens after codes and standards are developed in the voluntary sector and are published. Implementation involves the processes associated with the adoption of codes and standards. It also establishes any conditions associated with complying with those documents. See the Conformity Assessment section for more information on compliance. Adoption can...

The goal of the Codes and Standards (C/S) task in support of the Energy Storage Safety Roadmap and Energy Storage Safety Collaborative is to apply research and development to support efforts that are focused on ensuring that codes and standards are available to enable the safe implementation of energy storage...

Documenting and verifying compliance is traditionally considered within a broader term conformity assessment. Subsequent to the development of codes and standards they must be adopted in order to become effective (e.g. required). Such adoption can be voluntary in nature (e.g. someone simply decides they will follow particular codes or standards)...

U.S. codes and standards are developed in the voluntary sector through the efforts of standards development organizations (SDOs), although they can also be developed directly by those having the authority to adopt and apply requirements applicable to ESS technology installations. In most cases, those adopting requirements associated with ESS safety...

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Electricity (DOE OE) is at the forefront of efforts to address energy storage risk assessment and mitigation, including numerous publications, educational materials, and meetings organized under the ESS Safety Working Group (now Energy Storage Safety Collaborative). The Safety Collaborative has three main focuses...

Research & Development Overview: The goal of the R&D task is to ensure that the most needed research is identified, prioritized, and communicated so the community can best minimize consequences from potential system failures. To address the R&D ESS Safety goal to “Foster confidence in the safety and reliability of energy storage systems” the objectives...

Considerable research is being done to improve the safety of energy storage technologies and minimize the unintended consequences of potential failures. The energy storage safety working group communicates with stakeholders, researchers and other relevant parties to foster identification of and prioritization, collaboration, and coordination, on critical research. This site serves...
