Product-Level Compliance for Energy Storage Systems (ESS)

Thursday, 18 June 2026

As Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) become increasingly widespread across utilities, industrial sites, and EV infrastructure, ensuring compliance with evolving regulatory frameworks is emerging as a critical challenge. This presentation provides a clear, practical overview of product-level compliance requirements for ESS, helping stakeholders navigate the complexity of safety, certification, and system integration.

Focusing on real-world applications, the session will explore how regulatory expectations span multiple layers—from hardware safety and functional performance to cybersecurity and grid connection standards. It will highlight the growing need for a structured approach to compliance, especially as systems become more connected, distributed, and central to critical infrastructure.

Drawing on industry experience in testing and certification, the presentation will outline how to identify risks, implement mitigation strategies, and ensure conformity across the lifecycle of battery systems. Attendees will gain a better understanding of how to approach compliance proactively, supporting safer deployment and smoother project delivery in an increasingly regulated market.
