Read the first 7 Regulatory Compliance & Governance flashcards as text

  1. Which U.S. regulation requires manufacturers to maintain a written Hazard Communication Program and provide Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for hazardous battery chemicals?

    Answer: OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1200 (HazCom Standard)

    OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200) requires a written HazCom program, employee training, and SDS availability for all hazardous chemicals used in the workplace.

  2. In ISO 9001:2015 quality management, what is the significance of 'risk-based thinking' for a BMS manufacturer's compliance governance?

    Answer: It requires organizations to identify and address risks that could affect product conformity and compliance

    ISO 9001:2015 embeds risk-based thinking throughout the QMS, requiring organizations to proactively identify risks — including regulatory compliance risks — that could affect product conformity.

  3. Under the EU's Digital Battery Passport (required by Regulation 2023/1542), which data attribute is mandated to be accessible via a QR code on the battery?

    Answer: Carbon footprint, material composition, and supply chain due diligence information

    The EU Digital Battery Passport requires key sustainability data — including carbon footprint, material composition, recycled content, and due diligence information — accessible via a unique identifier like a QR code.

  4. A U.S. grid-scale BESS project must comply with FERC Order 841. What does this order primarily require?

    Answer: Electric storage resources must be able to participate in wholesale electricity markets

    FERC Order 841 directed regional transmission organizations to remove barriers to electric storage resource participation in wholesale capacity, energy, and ancillary service markets.

  5. What is the purpose of UL 9540A in the context of BESS fire safety governance?

    Answer: It provides a test method for evaluating thermal runaway fire propagation in battery energy storage systems

    UL 9540A is a test method that evaluates how fire and hot gases propagate if thermal runaway occurs in a battery module, system, or installation, informing AHJ decisions.

  6. Under the EPA's Universal Waste Rule (40 CFR Part 273), how must a handler properly store spent lead-acid and lithium batteries?

    Answer: In closed, labeled containers that prevent releases and are managed to prevent leaks or breakage

    The Universal Waste Rule requires handlers to store batteries in closed, labeled containers that prevent releases and are managed to prevent leaks, breakage, and environmental contamination.

  7. Which governance document within a BMS organization defines who has authority to approve design changes that may affect regulatory compliance?

    Answer: The Design Change Control Procedure within the quality management system

    A Design Change Control Procedure (part of the QMS) establishes review and approval authority for design changes, ensuring compliance impact assessments are completed before changes are implemented.
