Guide to AS5139 installation requirements for BE14000

For AS5139:2019 compliance, the BE14000 is defined as a pre-assembled battery system. AS5139 prescribes allowable battery
system locations and fire-proofing requirements. AS5139 is referenced in AS4777.1, AS3000 and the BCA, and all new or
modified battery system installations must comply.
The installer is responsible for completing installation in accordance with all relevant standards and regulations. The key
AS5139 requirements for BE14000 installation are:
• Install the BE14000 against a wall in a clear-zone containing no windows, doors, exits, vents, or appliances not
related to the BE14000. The clear-zone extends 600mm from the sides and 900mm above the BE14000.
Fireproof any combustible wall in the clear-zone if a habitable room exists on the opposite side of that wall. Fire-
•
proofing materials must comply with AS1530.1.
• Fireproof any structure e.g., ceiling or eave less than 900mm above the BE14000 to the full width of the clear-zone
and the lesser of 960mm from the wall or to the edge of the structure.
Use fire-retardant sealant to seal all penetrations through the wall that exceed 5mm internal diameter.
•
• Ensure 1m clearance in front of the BE14000 if it is located on a fire exit path.
• Protect the BE14000 from vehicle impact if this is a likely occurrence- use a bollard or similar device.
The most likely installation scenarios are illustrated below: any clear zone may need to be fireproofed> Note: the second
