NFPA 69

NFPA 69 covers active systems designed to prevent explosions, such as inerting, suppression, and control systems. For energy storage installations, NFPA 69 is relevant when flammable gas accumulation is a risk, and active explosion prevention methods are employed in battery enclosures or dedicated storage rooms. It complements NFPA 68 in situations where prevention is preferable to passive venting.
