Development status matters
NFPA describes the code as upcoming and in development. It is not presented as a mandatory, already adopted code.
A consolidated safety conversation
The planned code reflects growing attention to battery hazards across products and built environments. Stakeholders should follow official development materials for the eventual scope and requirements.
Avoid premature compliance claims
Design teams may use the development as an early signal for monitoring, but certification or compliance language must wait for applicable published requirements and evidence. A provisional project is not itself proof of product conformity.
