AS/NZS 3001.2:2022 Compliance Made Easy
AS/NZS 3001.2:2022 is the Australian standard that governs electrical installations in transportable structures and vehicles such as caravans and camper trailers. The standard includes safety requirements that apply when lithium battery systems are installed in these environments, including enclosure separation and ventilation considerations.
What does AS/NZS 3001.2 require?
- Lithium batteries must be installed so that any gases cannot enter the habitable space
- This is typically achieved via a sealed barrier or internal compartment
- And a vent path routed to the exterior
How Muller Energy Batteries meet
the Australian Standard
The diagram below illustrates an installation approach showing how a battery system can be isolated from the habitable space while ventilation is directed to the exterior of the vehicle.
In the unlikely event of battery venting caused by a fault condition, this installation approach helps ensure that any released gases are directed outside the vehicle rather than into the living area.
Muller Energy lithium batteries are also designed in line with recognised international safety standards such as IEC 62619, which covers the safety of lithium-ion batteries used in energy storage systems.

What's in the Muller Energy Venting Kit?
Muller Energy provides a purpose-built venting kit designed to help installers meet the battery ventilation requirements for lithium battery installations under AS/NZS 3001.2:2022.
The diagram below shows how the venting components work together to route any gases safely to the exterior of the vehicle in the unlikely event of battery venting.

FAQs
What is AS/NZS 3001.2:2022?
AS/NZS 3001.2:2022 is an Australian/New Zealand electrical installation standard that covers electrical systems in transportable structures and vehicles such as caravans and camper trailers. The standard includes requirements that apply when lithium battery systems are installed in these environments.
Can lithium batteries be installed inside a caravan?
Yes. Lithium batteries can be installed inside a caravan when the installation follows the requirements of AS/NZS 3001.2:2022. This includes using a sealed battery compartment and a ventilation pathway that directs any gases released during a battery fault condition outside the habitable space.
What happens if a lithium battery installation in a caravan is not compliant?
If a lithium battery installation does not follow AS/NZS 3001.2:2022, it may fail electrical inspection, pose safety risks, and potentially affect insurance coverage or certification for the vehicle.
