What is a UL 9540-Certified System?
A UL 9540 Energy Storage System (ESS) is comprised of:
- A UL 1973-certified stationary battery pack
- A UL 1741-certified inverter
- Rigorous thermal and electrical testing and evaluation of the UL listed components ensures they are integrated into a safe, high-performance system.
Why UL 9540?

When Does it Apply?
UL 9540 Applies to the inverter, battery and battery management system (BMS) in a residential energy storage system.
“The systems covered by this standard include those intended to be used in a standalone mode (e.g. islanded) including "self-supply" systems to provide electric energy and those used in parallel with an electric power system or electric utility grid such as "grid-supply" systems, or applications that perform multiple operational modes.”
