PGS 37-1: safe energy storage
Standardized approach to security measures
PGS 37-1 is a guideline within the Hazardous Substances Publication Series (PGS), aimed at the safe storage of lithium-ion energy carriers, such as batteries in energy storage systems. The advance of energy storage systems prompted representatives from industry, knowledge institutes and government to develop a guideline for safety measures to minimize the chance of calamities. As a supplier and manufacturer, we are fully versed in the approach and measures of the PGS 37-1 guideline.
Safety standards
It sets specific requirements for safety measures to be taken when storing large concentrations of lithium-ion batteries, as is the case with energy storage systems. The measures cover fire safety, ventilation and the handling of leaks and other incidents. With over 10 years of experience in the application of lithium technology, we know how to manage risks technically. In doing so, we align with the safety standards of PGS 37-1 to eliminate fire, chemical reactions, environmental contamination and health risks.

Emergency Planning
The directive requires that thorough emergency plans be prepared in case of incidents. This includes procedures for evacuation, firefighting and communication with emergency services. Well-prepared emergency plans are essential for limiting the consequences of various calamities. As a manufacturer and supplier, this has been part of the basis of our business operations for many years. If requested, we also deploy this knowledge for end users on site.
Training and Information
As a company, you need to make sure your staff is properly trained in the safe handling of lithium-ion batteries and the specific procedures required by PGS 37-1. This helps prevent accidents and ensures that employees know how to act in the event of an incident. Needless to say, this is deeply embedded in the organization at Intercel.
Safe and secure
PGS 37-1 provides a standardized approach to safety measures for lithium-ion batteries in energy storage systems. As a company, it helps you manage risks, ensures a safer working environment and contributes to the safety of the business environment. By complying with this guideline, you not only increase safety but also build trust as a company with customers and authorities. Need advice on PGS 37-1? Contact us and we will help you further.
