Induction Requirements (For Installers Only)

Referencing Footnotes .

1 This hazard should be considered for all CEC approved Battery Systems (BSs), and additionally for CEC

approved pre-assembled integrated battery energy storage systems (BESS) where the installer is required to
make connections on the DC side of the system (e.g. connecting equipment that is delivered to site as two or
more modules) should be considered for each individual situation.

2 Site specific sources of hazards (e.g. impact from vehicles), should be considered for each individual situation.
3 Site specific sources of consequences (e.g. damage to battery system, creating toxic fume or other hazards)

should be considered for each individual situation.

4 Site specific sources of controls (e.g. bollards) should be considered for each individual situation.
5 Material Safety Data Sheets shall be provided at the completion of installation (refer to AS/NZS 5139:2019

Clause 6.4.1).

6 The manufacturer has determined the risk level for this hazard based on the battery chemistry as low, provided

manufacturers advice on installation and maintenance activities are followed and the equipment is inspected
for damage before installation. However, installers will be required assess site considerations to determine
the inherent risk rating and the residual risk. The

battery system comprising model

nos. AS1-3KS-5.1, AS1-3KS-10.2, AS1-3KS-15.3, AS1-3KS-20.4 and B1-5.1-48 utilise lithium-iron phosphate
cells (Model No. GSP27135250F) within their batteries. These cells comply with the UL 1642 (UL Standard
for Safety for Lithium Batteries), and IEC 62619 (secondary cells and batteries containing alkaline or other
non-acid electrolytes - Safety requirements for secondary lithium cells and batteries, for use in industrial
applications) standards. The battery cells and modules are safe, reliable and do not present a risk of
explosion when operated as per the instructions specified in the product installation and owner’s manuals.
The thermal and structural stability of lithium iron phosphate cathode materials are the safest amongst lithium
based chemistries. The battery modules are not user serviceable and must not be disassembled, damaged,
or tampered with any manner. Improper operation or actions that are outside the scope of recommended
operating procedure as specified in the product installation and owner’s manuals must be avoided and may
cause leakage of chemical substances (for e.g., electrolytes) from the battery cells/modules. There is no risk of
hydrogen being released under normal operation, and in most application scenarios.

7 The manufacturer has determined the risk level for this hazard based on the battery chemistry as medium,

provided manufacturers advice on installation and maintenance activities are followed and the equipment is
inspected for damage before installation.

Risk Assessment Form Columns Hazard description:

as described in AS/NZS 5139:2019.

Potential Source:

any or reasonably foreseeable abnormal conditions or reasonably foreseeable misuse.

Potential Consequences:

the most likely outcome inherent risk: cross-referencing the consequence against the

likelihood of it occurring in the risk matrix (before the controls are implemented).

Controls:

should consider the hierarchy of control methods described in the relevant OHS/WHS Regulations

and AS/NZS 5139:2019.
