Fireproof Lithium-ion Battery Cabinets

“Regulations and security policies are lagging behind the rapid developments in the energy market.”

Aldus lector of energy and transport safety Nils Rosmuller.

“Lithium-ion battery systems in vehicles and for energy storage are on the rise and the number of fires involving these batteries is increasing. For this reason, the fire sector is actively seeking to connect with parties in the industry and the energy market. To learn about the developments and to think along and advise on safety aspects of new energy systems and the action perspective for the fire department.”

So there is no legal regulation (yet) as far as fire safety is concerned. But there are rules in place for a (lithium-ion) battery charging station to comply with the rules of the RI&E.
