Battery room layout
Battery room layout
(OP)
Per article 1.2.4 of EPA-1994 Code of Federal Regulations 40, published in "Codes update for battery rooms" by the "Power Quality" few years ago "dead ends aisles longer than 6 feet are not permitted".
Is this code enforced? Are you aware of other codes/requlations which require not to have dead end aisles in battery rooms? The requirement not to have dead ends makes sense and I would interested in other applicable codes and regulations to justify my design.
Thank you.

IEEE 484: …provide adequate space and illumination for inspection, maintenance, testing, and cell/battery replacement.

This seems to make a lot of sense, but I've never heard of it being enforced.

NFPA 70E specifies the aisle width of at least 36 inches, but has no requirement for dead-end length.
