Battery room compliance can be interpreted differently depending on your battery type, amount of cells or multi-cell units in a common area, volume of electrolyte and voltage present. Although the code is specific about requirements, the local interpretation can vary depending on the end users experience or awareness.
The employer must know, document and train the employee for the assigned task and exposed risks. It is a requirement to have all the documentation in place prior to authorized personnel entering a battery room to perform a specific work task on a battery system under normal operating conditions.
Common standards in the battery room include those from American Society of Testing Materials (ASTM) and Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). Model codes are standards developed by committees with the intent to be adopted by states and local jurisdictions.

Additional training is necessary for that “qualified employee” to be qualified to enter a battery room to conduct a specific task. What they are trained for is no different than other training requirements. The employer must know, document and train the employee for the assigned task and exposed risks.
In layman's terms, a standard provides minimum requirements and/or instructions in agreement within the industry for common reference. Common standards in the battery room include those from American Society of Testing Materials (ASTM) and Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE).
