UL Standards and Engagement introduces the first edition of UL 1487, published on February 10, 2025, as a binational standard for the United States and Canada. (a) A battery installation is classified as one of three types, based upon power output of the battery charger, as follows: (1) Large. These are the National Electrical Code (NEC/NFPA 70)1 and the Standard for Ele trical Safety in the Workplace (NFPA 70E)2. This paper will examine recent battery-related changes in both documents as well as changes in the NFPA 70E Handbook. . This report describes development of an effort to assess Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) performance that the U. Department of Energy (DOE) Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) and others can employ to evaluate performance of deployed BESS or solar photovoltaic (PV) +BESS systems. The. . The following are key standards that shall be followed. The Engineer of Record and BESS Manufacturer shall ensure all applicable codes are followed: Systems must be able to protect themselves from internal failures and utility grid disturbances. As such, systems must be self-protecting for AC or DC. .
