Abstract: Sets out recommended practices for the installation, maintenance, testing and replacement of vented secondary batteries permanently installed in buildings.
Scope:
This Standard sets out recommended practices for the installation, maintenance, testing and replacement of vented secondary batteries permanently installed in or on buildings. It also provides guidance to determine when batteries should be replaced.

The standard sets out requirements for the design, construction and verification of electrical installations, including the selection and installation of electrical equipment forming part of such electrical installations. These requirements are intended to protect persons, livestock, and property from electric shock, fire and physical injury hazards that may arise from an electrical installation that is used with reasonable care and with due regard to the intended purpose of the electrical installation.

The document describes the various methods used for grounding electrical systems and the non-current carrying metal parts of electrical wiring systems and equipment and also discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the different grounding methods, and the means employed to safeguard property from arc damage and fire.

The document describes switchgear as a general term covering switching, interrupting, control, metering, protective, and regulating devices and assemblies of these devices with their associated interconnections, accessories, and supporting structures and provides for the basic operation, protection, inspection, maintenance, and testing of various types of switchgear used in applications of at least 600V.

This Interference-Causing Equipment Standard–003 (ICES-003) sets out the technical requirements relative to radio noise generated by Information Technology Equipment (ITE).

The document provides alternative approaches and practices for design, operation, maintenance, integration and interoperability, including distributed resources interconnection, of stationary or mobile battery energy storage systems (BESS) with the EPS at customer facilities, electricity distribution facilities or bulk transmission electricity facilities.

This code establishes regulations affecting or relating to structures, processes, premises and safeguards regarding: 1. The hazard of fire and explosion arising from the storage, handling or use of structures, materials or devices; 2. Conditions hazardous to life, property or public welfare in the occupancy of structures or premises; 3. Fire hazards in the structure or on the premises from occupancy or operation; 4. Matters related to the construction, extension, repair, alteration or removal of fire suppression or alarm systems; and 5.

The provisions of the IWUCl apply to the construction, alteration, movement, repair, maintenance and use of any building, structure or premises within the wildland urban-interface areas in this jurisdiction. Buildings or conditions in existence at the time of the adoption of this code are allowed to have their use or occupancy continued, if such condition, use or occupancy was legal at the time of the adoption of this code, provided such continued use does not constitute a distinct danger to life or property.

The guide discusses various battery systems so that the user can make informed decisions on selection, installation design, installation, maintenance, and testing of stationary standby batteries used in UPS systems.

This Code covers basic provisions for safeguarding of persons from hazards arising from the installation, operation, or maintenance of conductors and equipment in electric supply stations and overhead and underground electric supply and communication lines. It also includes work rules for the construction, maintenance, and operation of electric supply and communication lines and equipment. The standard is applicable to the systems and equipment operated by utilities, or similar systems and equipment, of an industrial establishment or complex under the control of qualified persons.
