The first set of regulation requirements under the EU Battery Regulation 2023/1542 will come into effect on 18 August 2024. These include performance and durability requirements for industrial batteries, electric vehicle (EV) batteries, and light means of transport (LMT) batteries; safety standards for stationary battery energy storage systems ...
E OPERATING ROCEDURELithium Battery Storage and Disposal1. IntroductionThe University is required to comply with legal obligations to minimise the risk of fire, damage, and in y as a result of storage and disposal of lithium batteries. Every employer must ensure that all employees who handle lithium-ion batteries for their work or
Lithium-ion battery fires can even reignite after being contained. In this post, we’ll talk through the safe storage requirements for lithium-ion batteries that manage the risks to keep people and facilities safe. The UK doesn’t have specific regulations or legislation for the general storage of lithium-ion batteries.
The UK doesn’t have specific regulations or legislation for the general storage of lithium-ion batteries. The Health and Safety Executive has, however, published guidance on good practices for handling and storing batteries, even though it is not compulsory. Regulations are not prescriptive but instead follow the typical routes:
The requirements include: The Inland Transport of Dangerous Goods Directive requires that the transportation of lithium batteries and other dangerous goods must be done according to the requirements of the Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR).
As stated earlier, most applications for the indoor storage of lithium-ion batteries greatly differ from one another. In addition, battery and EV manufacturers are investing heavily in R&D, so the variations and energy densities are likely to further increase in the coming years.
The General Product Safety Regulation covers safety aspects of a product, including lithium batteries, which are not covered by other regulations. Although there are harmonised standards under the regulation, we could not find any that specifically relate to batteries.

Batteries should be stored in non-flammable containers, such as concrete, metal or packaging designed specifically for storing lithium batteries, large enough that the batteries are not touching each other. It is …
Lithium batteries are subject to various regulations and directives in the European Union that concern safety, substances, documentation, labelling, and testing. These requirements are primarily found under the Batteries Regulation, but additional regulations, directives, and standards are also relevant to lithium batteries.
The storage of lithium batteries is significantly influenced by their performance classification: low, medium and high performance (see general and specific safety rules). On the part of the insurers, there are written recommendations (leaflet VdS 3103) which are regarded as equivalent and equally binding.
New codes and standards provide some guidance and requirements, but here is what facility managers should consider to ensure safe storage. Early in 2024, the International Code Council published its International Fire Code (IFC) 2024.
Questions arise around how we use, charge, and store e-bikes in the workplace – and the additional hazards and risks that this may bring. Since 2020, 10 people have died from fires linked to Lithium-ion bateries, and 190 people have been injured8.

Batteries should be stored in non-flammable containers, such as concrete, metal or packaging designed specifically for storing lithium batteries, large enough that the batteries are not touching each other. It is recommended to have in place a fire detector in the storage area and a fire extinguisher nearby.
6. Storing Batteries • Every time a battery is not used actively (e.g. for more than 3 days), it should be placed in the storage area to avoid being damaged and becoming unsafe. • When not using your LiPo/Li-ion battery pack, store it at 60-70% of the pack''s rated capacity.
