Standards Australia has just announced the completion of a Roadmap for Energy Storage Standards. The Roadmap report sets out the areas of priority for standards development to support the roll-out of energy storage systems in Australia.

The report was developed through a consultative process and contains an action plan for energy storage systems standards. It outlines the need for standards covering:

• Installation

• Product safety

• Product performance

The Roadmap supports increased international participation in standards development, resulting in greater harmonisation with International Standards that can lead to improved facilitation of trade. The Roadmap report was developed through two rounds of public consultation and an industry forum held in August 2016. The forum brought industry, consumer and government stakeholders together to express priorities for energy storage standards both in the short to medium term.

The Roadmap was developed with the support of the COAG Energy Council, with a number of other interest groups and stakeholders contributing to the consultation process.
