1206.11.3 Fire-resistance rated construction. Rooms and other indoor areas containing energy storage systems shall be separated from other areas of the building in accordance with Section 1206.14.4 and Chapter 7 of this code. Energy storage systems shall be permitted to be in the same room as the equipment they support.
Electrical and Wiring Safety – Proper electrical wiring and connections are critical for fire safety in energy storage systems. NFPA 855 outlines specific requirements for cable management, grounding, and circuit protection to ensure that electrical components do not pose a fire risk.
In walk-in energy storage system units, spacing is not required between energy storage system units and the walls of the enclosure. Fire suppression system connections to the water supply shall be permitted to use approved temporary connections.
Where approved by the fire code oficial, rooms, areas and walk-in energy storage system units containing electrochemical energy storage systems that exceed the amounts in Table 1206.12 shall be permitted based on a hazard mitigation analysis in accordance with Section 1206.5 and large-scale fire testing complying with Section 1206.6.
