At the end of 2019, the regulations around load rooms at industrial sites changed. Industrial sites equipped with lithium-ion batteries whose charging power does not exceed 600 kW will not be subject to the order regulating the charging rooms. In comparison, a site equipped with lead-acid batteries is subject to this decree as soon as its charging power exceeds 50 kW. This change in regulations follows consultations between the Ministry of Ecology and Evolis, a union which brings together companies, located on European territory, which design, produce and market equipment for construction, infrastructure, the steel industry and handling. The union wanted to fill a legal void that affected lithium-ion batteries. In accordance with legal obligations since 2000, the charge rooms make it possible to secure industrial sites which handle lead-acid batteries. These sites must dedicate a highly secure space to charge the batteries, including fire doors, a ventilation system and an acid-tight floor, for example. Indeed, lead-acid batteries emit hydrogen and contain acid which often spills on the ground. With the evolution of these regulations, manufacturers will be able to use lithium-ion batteries without having a dedicated charging room because this technology does not present a risk linked to hydrogen or acid.
