Advisory Guidelines on Lithium-Ion Battery Fire Safety for Data Centres
These Guidelines aim to raise awareness of the impact of LIB fires in DCs and the risk posed to firefighters responding to fires in DC battery rooms, along with uplifting fire safety through awareness of best practices. These Guidelines are voluntary and complementary to the prevailing SCDF Fire Code, which already serves as a regulatory baseline for addressing the risks associated with LIB fires. The Advisory Guidelines therefore serve to supplement and build upon this foundation by encouraging industry adoption of best practices beyond the minimum requirements. In the future, we may update our regulations to reflect the measures set out in these Guidelines, after due engagement with stakeholders.
