Advancing BESS safety and performance

10 Mar 2025

Battery energy storage systems (‘BESS’) are a critical component in the global energy transition, enabling the integration of wind, solar and other renewable sources into electricity grids. Designed to store and release energy when needed, they also play an important role in enhancing energy efficiency and resilience.

As demand for clean energy grows, so does the need for reliable, safe and high-performing BESS. However, the use of advanced technologies introduces unique safety and performance challenges, including fire and system failure risks.

Through comprehensive end-to-end testing, risk assessment and certification services, Intertek is helping BESS manufacturers ensure the safety, reliability and performance of their products. Our expertise supports innovation in energy storage while ensuring compliance with critical safety standards. And with our help, manufacturers are developing safer, more reliable BESS that accelerate the clean energy transition.
