This part of IEC 62933 primarily describes safety aspects for people and, where appropriate,
safety matters related to the surroundings and living beings for grid-connected energy storage
systems where an electrochemical storage subsystem is used.
This safety standard is applicable to the entire life cycle of BESS (from design to end of service
life management).
This document provides further safety provisions that arise due to the use of an electrochemical
storage subsystem (e.g. battery system) in energy storage systems that are beyond the general
safety considerations described in IEC TS 62933-5-1.
This document specifies the safety requirements of an "electrochemical" energy storage system
as a "system" to reduce the risk of harm or damage caused by the hazards of an electrochemical
energy storage system due to interactions between the subsystems as presently understood.All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
