Adoption of Codes and Standards
Page • 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...

Conformity Assessment
Page • 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)...

Current Development Status
Page • 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...

Energy Storage Safety Collaborative
