Ion system nfpa.
The new nfpa 855 standard proves safety guidance for using lithium ion batteries in ups systems which provide a secondary source of power in data centers in the event of an outage.
Ignition and reignition issues with the batteries in electric vehicles are also concerns for energy storage systems.

Nfpa 704 fire diamond for li ion batteries.
Nfpa 855 includes new design and testing protocols for lithium ion ups systems.
But data center professionals say the standard has been broadened in ways that could alter current practices in deploying other types of data center ups systems and could potentially be applied to existing facilities.
Furthering the nfpa mission.
An assumption with nfpa 855 is that it applies only to lithium ion battery ess but that is incorrect the scope is much broader than that.
