BAEUSA receives ANSI/CAN/UL1973 certification for a stationary lead acid battery energy storage system.

Safety certifications

BAEUSA underwent a variety of electrical, mechanical and environmental tests before obtaining ANSI/CAN/UL1973 certification. This standard governs batteries used in mobile or stationary auxiliary power applications. This aspect deals with lead acid batteries through an evaluation program.

In addition, the company was also involved in testing for the 9540 standard. It governs energy storage systems and equipment. The system also met the performance criteria of the UL9540A fire safety tests.

It evaluates fire propagation in thermal runaway situations in battery storage systems. This is an alternative approach to the evaluation of batteries, lead-acid or nickel-cadmium. The objective is to assess the ability of the storage system to withstand abnormal conditions.

Innovative technology

These certifications allow BAEUSA to offer an innovative lead acid battery technology. The company granting the certifications authorizes greater battery safety on the world market. ULSolutions thus helps battery manufacturers to meet the challenges of battery safety.

BAEUSA thus benefits from the first certification of a stationary battery energy storage system. ULSolutions thus demonstrates its ability to meet the specific needs of companies through scientific expertise in security. The company aims to develop in a sustainable way.

ULSolutions, a leader in the field of applied security sciences, is present in over 100 countries. It offers inspection testing and certification services. She advises her clients and supports product innovation.
