UL Solutions Introduces Large-Scale Fire Test for Residential Battery Systems

    UL Solutions has introduced a new testing protocol, UL 9540B, to assess the fire propagation behavior of residential battery energy storage systems (BESS). This protocol addresses concerns from fire service organizations and aims to enhance the safety of BESS installations.

    UL 9540B evaluates how a BESS reacts if a thermal runaway event leads to an internal fire. The test includes a robust ignition scenario and enhanced acceptance criteria to simulate real-world conditions. It complements existing standards like UL 9540 and UL 9540A, providing a comprehensive approach to fire safety in residential energy storage systems.
