4 FAQs about Distance requirements between BESS installations and residential buildings in compliance with local safety standards

What are the key restrictions & requirements for Bess installations?

The following points summarise key restrictions and requirements: AS/NZS 5139:2019 Compliance: Sections 4, 5, and 6 of AS/NZS 5139:2019 detail prohibitive locations for BESS installations to ensure safety. Installers must adhere to these sections to avoid placing BESS in areas that could pose significant risks.

What are the standards for battery energy storage systems (Bess)?

Introduction As the industry for battery energy storage systems (BESS) has grown, a broad range of H&S related standards have been developed. There are national and international standards, those adopted by the British Standards Institution (BSI) or published by International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), CENELEC, ISO, etc.

Can a Bess system be installed within 600mm?

In NSW, all openings regardless of size, which can be utilised as an exit, e.g. garage door openings, double door openings, etc. are classified as an exit and a BESS system shall not be installed within 600mm of the exit.

What are the design requirements for a Bess facility?

BE1 recognizes mechanical impact and potential perforation of the cell as one of the failure modes and scenarios. It states that the BESS facilities must be designed to ensure impact protection and avoid any mechanical damage to the containers and enclosures. However, no specific design requirements are provided.
