Energy storage systems continue to be a rapidly evolving industry. Thus, the key to safe and up-to-date compliance requirements involves the adoption and application of codes and standards in addition to the development or writing of codes and standards.

International Building Code (IBC): Following IBC 2024 Chapter 27 Section 2702.1.3, emergency or standby power systems must be installed following the guidelines outlined in the International Fire Code IFC), NFPA 70: National Electrical Code (NEC) and NFPA 111: Standard on Stored Electrical Energy Emergency and Standby Power Systems.
In some contexts, for energy storage systems, compliance regulations take the form of a state adopting a code, which then references and requires testing and listing or adherence to a standard. Some cities, counties, and special administrative districts (e.g., school or sewer districts) also adopt locally amended codes for their environments.
