What makes our enclosures PAS 63100 compliant

  1. External Installation (Primary PAS requirement)
  • Designed for external wall mounting
  • Supports PAS63100 recommendation for outdoor placement
  • IP 55 ingress rating
  • IK 10 impact protection

👉 PAS explicitly states outdoor installation is preferred 


2. Fire Separation & Containment

  • Galvanized 1.5 mm steel is a non-combustible enclosure material
  • Fire-rated backing board available as an option
  • A1 and B1 fire rated materials (gaskets, insulation, enclosure)

👉 PAS requires mitigation of fire spread and separation


3. Ventilation & Thermal Management

  • Passive/active ventilation with 2 or 4 thermostatically controlled fans
  • Prevents overheating / thermal build-up

👉 PAS references ventilation as a core safety factor 


4. Electrical Safety Integration

  • Pre-installed AC/DC isolators (option)
  • Correct cable entry (10 glands to separate cable entries)
  • Designed for BS 7671 compliant installation

👉 This aligns with PAS linking to BS7671 and safe interconnection 


5. Detection & Risk Mitigation

  • Optional fire detection / suppression
  • Controlled environment vs loft installs

👉 PAS recommends fire detection in certain locations

Designed Around Risk Mitigation Principles

Eco-ESS external battery & inverter enclosures are purpose-built to support PAS 63100 compliant installations. Although PAS 63100 governs installation rather than product certification, our enclosures help installers effectively manage risk by providing:

  • External containment to reduce fire spread
  • Controlled environmental protection against heat, moisture, and weather
  • Secure structural mounting for safe, long-term installation
  • Serviceable inspection access for easy maintenance
  • Thermostatically controlled ventilation to maintain stable internal temperatures

These enclosures align with PAS 63100:2024 guidelines, reflecting best practices for battery energy storage system (BESS) safety, fire risk mitigation, and system integrity. Final compliance remains the responsibility of the installing contractor.

Frequently Asked Questions

PAS 63100 is a code of practice for installation. These enclosures are designed to support PAS 63100 compliant installations but are not independently certified under PAS 63100.

Outdoor enclosures can experience significant internal heat rise. Thermostatically controlled cooling reduces heat build-up and supports stable battery operation.

No. Cooling activates only when internal temperature exceeds pre-set thresholds.

Yes. Designed to house modern lithium-based solar and energy storage systems.
