Samsung SDI becomes first to prove fire safety of UPS batteries worldwide

Samsung SDI said on Monday its uninterruptible power supply batteries became the first in the world to meet all evaluation criteria in an indoor large-scale fire test overseen by certification body UL Solutions. The test checks whether a fire in a battery module spreads to adjacent racks or systems. Samsung SDI said the ignited module burned out but caused no fire spread, gas release, explosion or rupture, and self-extinguished without sprinklers.
