Lithium-Ion Battery Incident Response and Management
Scope:
The standard addresses incident response and management related to lithium-ion batteries and is designed to enhance knowledge of this subject so that related operations can be carried out effectively. Topics addressed include protection, toxicity, explosive gases, and re-ignition. The scope covers batteries for energy storage of all sizes, on- and off-road vehicles, mobile charging, battery systems, and charging and storage of batteries for micro-mobility. This document would be helpful for the following, including but not limited to first responders, automotive recyclers, automotive mechanics, vehicle manufacturers, and personnel who encounter batteries.
Project need:
Governments around the world have implemented decarbonization initiatives to address environmental concerns, leading to a notable shift towards the utilization of renewable energy sources and the adoption of battery storage technologies. In particular, the widespread use of lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) for energy storage has presented a range of challenges for all stakeholders involved in the value chain. These challenges primarily revolve around health and safety issues that are inherent to the manufacturing, storage, transportation, and disposal of lithium-ion batteries. As a result, the industry is actively seeking solutions to address health and safety concerns and ensure the safe and sustainable use of battery storage technologies.
This will meet the strategic needs of the following key interest’s groups by addressing the needs of industry stakeholders through the provision of suitable requirements and guidance: Regulators, manufacturers, utilities, and industry associations.
