Intertek and Sigenergy Jointly Release White Paper to Advance Safety in Commercial and Industrial Energy Storage
14 May 2025
Munich, Germany: Intertek, a leading Total Quality Assurance provider to industries worldwide, and Sigenergy Technology Co., Ltd. (“Sigenergy”) have jointly unveiled a new White Paper titled ‘Comprehensive Safety Protection for C&I Energy Storage Systems’ at Intersolar Europe 2025 in May 7. The launch ceremony was attended by Samuel Zhang, Chief Technology Officer at Sigenergy, Klaus Herrmann, Global Certifier at Intertek, alongside other distinguished guests.
As the global energy transition accelerates, commercial and industrial (C&I) energy storage systems are playing a crucial role in improving energy efficiency and balancing power supply and demand. However, their rapid adoption has also brought safety concerns to the forefront, underscoring the urgent need for more rigorous standards and comprehensive safety solutions. In response, Intertek and Sigenergy have collaborated to release this new White Paper, which will help shape industry-wide benchmarks for the safe deployment and operation of C&I energy storage systems.
The White Paper focuses on key safety challenges in C&I energy storage—such as thermal runaway, fire mitigation, and system complexity—and presents technical perspectives based on the evaluation of Sigenergy’s SigenStack. With its modular and scalable architecture, SigenStack serves as a practical model presenting how energy storage systems can balance safety, flexibility, and operational efficiency.
Klaus Herrmann, Intertek Certification Scheme Manager commented: “The release of this White Paper marks a significant step in our shared commitment to advancing safety in the energy storage sector. As a global leader in quality assurance, Intertek remains dedicated to enabling innovation through rigorous testing and certification, helping companies meet evolving safety requirements and expand confidently into new markets.”
According to the White Paper, SigenStack has undergone a full suite of internationally recognized and automotive-grade safety tests—including UL 9540A, IEC 62619, and GB/T 36276. Test results presented in the publication indicate that the system maintained structural integrity under extreme conditions and achieved operational efficiencies exceeding 95%. By sharing these findings, the White Paper aims to promote best practices and foster the long-term, sustainable development of the global energy storage industry.
Samuel Zhang, Chief Technology Officer at Sigenergy, said: “At Sigenergy, we believe safety and innovation must go hand in hand. Through our collaboration with Intertek, we are proud to contribute to the development of high-integrity safety standards and help drive the global transition toward smarter and more sustainable energy systems.”
