That changed in 2023 with the publication of NFPA 70B, Standard for Electric Equipment Maintenance, as a consensus standard. 70B has been the NFPA’s primary document covering electrical equipment maintenance since 1975, but previously was a “recommended practice.”
[pdf] The approved proposals, which appear in the latest ANSI Standards Action publication, include standards for residential and commercial and industrial installation requirements, supply chain traceability, consumer protection, decommissioning, recycling and end of life management, as well as training for installation, operations and maintenance, and health and safety.

[pdf] The newly approved standard, ANSI/SEIA 101, provides a rubric that manufacturers and importers can follow to trace product origins from raw materials to finished goods.
[pdf] After 2024’s wake-up calls, European enterprises prioritize ironclad BESS Container Safety Standards. This requires non-negotiables: AI-driven fault detection (>99% accuracy), extreme thermal management (-30°C to 60°C per Wood Mackenzie 2025), and modular maintenance swaps (costing ~€50/kWh/year).
[pdf] IEC 61730-1:2023 specifies and describes the fundamental construction requirements for photovoltaic (PV) modules in order to provide safe electrical and mechanical operation.
