NFPA855: Building Code for Batteries
NFPA 855 governs building standards relevant to onsite energy storage systems – originating the requirements for spacing, ventilation, disconnection, and other requirements above and beyond the UL9540 test requirements. Unlike typical NEC code cycles, jurisdictions are enforcing NFPA855 as soon as the standards are enacted.

An assumption with NFPA 855 is that it applies only to lithium-ion battery ESS, but that is incorrect—the scope is much broader than that. The scope of NFPA 855 applies to several technologies and to energy storage systems of a certain size or capacity. The threshold when NFPA 855 applies is different for each technology.

Embracing New Fire Safety Standards for BESS
Most battery ESS units are now required by NFPA 855 and model fire codes to be listed to UL 9540, Energy Storage Systems and Equipment [5]. While there is an allowance in NFPA 855 for a field evaluation to be performed for non-listed ESS, UL 9540 requirements provide valuable information related to how the battery ESS reacts in a thermal event.

In response to those innovations in energy storage and the hazards that come along with them, NFPA has developed a new standard: NFPA 855, Standard for the Installation of Energy Storage Systems. That''s where the new NFPA 855 comes in.
How NFPA 855 could change residential battery-based systems
The introduction of lithium-ion batteries into the residential energy storage space has brought with it a new set of challenges. Faulty or damaged lithium-ion cells can lead to thermal runaway reactions which, like dominos, affect adjacent cells and can result in fire. As the size of these systems increases, so does the risk of igniting combustible off-gasses and
