How do I know if my energy storage system is safe?

The ESS must be listed in accordance with UL 9540, the Standard for Safety of Energy Storage Systems and Equipment. This can be indicated by a UL label or a label from another recognized testing authority if it meets the UL standard. IFC 1207.4.12 clarifies that a walk-in BESS enclosure is considered effectively unoccupied.
