标准20252017年8月15日，澳大利亚标准协会就进行了一段时间的电池储存标准草案的公众咨询进行了总结。
本次公众咨询共收到了三千多份关于草案的评论意见，其中很多涉及如何在住宅环境中安装电池系统。
鉴于对标准草案的重大回应以及这一新建筑技术，现存的政府指导还十分有限，澳大利亚标准协会要集合关键利益相关者，开始讨论并建立一个框架，通过这一框架来缓解此类公共政策的紧张局势。
强制性的住宅建筑要求最终属于政府负责的公共政策事宜。澳大利亚标准是自愿的，除非由政府提出，否则只有在行业、政府和社区利益协商一致后才会予以发布。
作为独立的技术标准制定的组织，澳大利亚标准协会热衷于促进产业和政府共同努力，寻求如何制定住宅建筑中的蓄电池的相关要求。
澳大利亚标准协会的技术委员会不是解决与公共安全、清洁能源和最低住宅建筑要求相关的公共政策紧张局面的论坛。如果各国政府有政策问题需要解决，应在进一步开展标准制定工作前做出决定。
澳大利亚标准协会将继续与其技术委员会和所有的利益相关方就这一问题展开合作，并希望通过相应的政策对话可以为技术委员会提供技术工作所需的指导。
同时，也会考虑如何就标准草案中的其他重要要求与技术委员会进行最佳的合作。
Future development of onsite battery storage standards in Australia
On 15 August 2017 Standards Australia concluded public consultation on the draft battery storage standard that has been in development for some time.
Over three thousand comments were received on the draft, with many relating to how systems should be installed in a residential context.
Given the significant response to the draft standard, along with the fact that this is a new building technology with limited existing direction from governments, Standards Australia has offered to bring key stakeholders together to start a discussion and establish a framework through which these public policy tensions can be addressed.
Mandated residential construction requirements are ultimately public policy matters for governments. Australian Standards are voluntary unless called up by governments, and are only published if consensus is reached between industry, government and community interests.
As an independent technical standards development organisation, Standards Australia is keen to see industry and government work together to find a way forward on how residential construction requirements for onsite batteries should be set.
In Standards Australia’s view, our technical committee is not the appropriate forum to resolve the public policy tensions related to public safety, clean energy and minimum residential construction requirements. If there are policy issues for the respective governments to address, this should be determined before any further standards development work is progressed.
Standards Australia will continue to work with its technical committee and all stakeholders on this issue and hopes that a parallel policy dialogue will give our technical committee the guidance it needs to get on with the technical work.
In the meantime, consideration is being given to how best to work with our technical committee on the other important requirements contained in the draft standard.
