Stationary storage safety · Region: North America
| Standard | UL 1973 |
|---|---|
| Region | North America |
| Battery chemistry | Lithium-ion / other |
| Test object | Stationary storage safety |
| Scope | Safety standard for stationary energy-storage batteries — cell, module and system abuse and thermal-runaway requirements. |
Test object: Stationary storage safety for Lithium-ion / other batteries. Scope: Safety standard for stationary energy-storage batteries — cell, module and system abuse and thermal-runaway requirements.
Standards define test procedures and pass criteria — the measured values are only comparable when the same standard and conditions apply. See the CCA reference for the standards' measurement context.
UL 1973 is used to assess stationary storage safety for lithium-ion / other batteries in North America. The result is only meaningful when the sample, conditioning and test conditions match the standard; a number without those details is not comparable.
Compare with other chemistry-specific standards in the standards index, and check the manufacturer's claimed certificates against the underlying test report.
Two failures account for most disputes: comparing results obtained at different test temperatures, and treating a supplier's summary as raw data. Ask for the clause tested and the conditioning; if either is missing, the result cannot be compared with another laboratory's.
