Last week I became aware of a new standard for the installation of EESS, (PV batteries). It can be downloaded for free from the BSI website. It mandates where batteries can and can not be installed. Recommended outdoors, but banning loft, or eaves installations, and places stringent measures on distances from doors and windows. The property must have a fire detection system to BS 5839-6, D2-LD2.

Haven't downloaded or read it yet.
Do you think the loft scenario would apply to a garage loft that is separated from main dwelling by fire break wall? as will be installing fire detection system on new build and a detector in garage loft (nor main loft) has not been specified.

Not read the standard, but note that it was mentioned in a recent Efixx video.
The standard seems to apply to houses? Still trying to interpret Standard Speak into English! However the gist I'm getting is that if it's not outside, it's inside. and if that inside is attached to the main residential building, then an interconnected fire detection system conforming to BS is required.
Went to an Aico skills event at the tail end of January and a presentation by the ECA I think it was, mentioned that the installation PV storage batteries in lofts was a no no but I don't recall any talk of any current or new standards in the pipeline back then
