4 FAQs about New energy battery cabinet inspection standards

Where can I find a UL certified battery containment enclosure?

Battery containment enclosures certified by UL Solutions to UL 1487 can be found in the online certification directory, UL Product iQ®. Product iQ is available to use at no cost but requires a one-time registration.

How can lithium-ion batteries be protected?

These approaches take the form of publicly available research, adoption of the most current lithium-ion battery protection measures into model building, installation and fire codes and rigorous product safety standards that are designed to reduce failure rates.

What is a storage cavity energy containment rating (scecr)?

The storage cavity energy containment rating (SCECR) forms the basis of the size of the fuel package, and the storage cavity with the largest SCECR is tested. Second, there is an internal deflagration test that exposes the product to ignition of a standardized flammable mixture inside the product.

What are battery containment products?

In addition to these prevention strategies, battery containment products have emerged which are purpose-built for mitigation of thermal runaway hazards of lithium-ion batteries and battery-powered devices that are stored and charged inside of them. UL 1487, Battery Containment Enclosures, was created to evaluate these products.
