🔋 NFPA 800 - The Upcoming Battery Safety Code
Lithium-ion batteries are everywhere—from manufacturing facilities and warehouses to energy storage systems, EVs, e-bikes, and consumer products. As battery use continues to grow, NFPA is developing NFPA 800, the new Battery Safety Code, designed to address battery safety throughout the entire lifecycle—from manufacturing and transportation to storage, use, and disposal.
⚠️ Topics expected to include:
✅ Thermal runaway hazards
✅ Fire and explosion risks
✅ Storage and transportation safety
✅ Emergency response considerations
✅ Battery manufacturing and end-of-life management
If you work in fire protection, code enforcement, risk management, manufacturing, or battery storage, this is a code development you need to be watching closely. NFPA 800 is expected to become a major roadmap for battery safety across multiple industries.
