Safety of Energy Storage Systems
Division 3.2
Safety plays a particularly prominent role when transporting dangerous goods. We in the Safety of Energy Storage Systems division are experts in the safety of containers used for the storage, handling and transport of dangerous goods in tanks.
.Based on experimental and analytical examinations, the requisite evaluation principles are established that not only support lawmaking processes but also assist private enterprise by providing consistent and binding safety frameworks. The prompt and active application of our research results are essential in this case.
