The areas of recommended knowledge for installers and maintainers of stationary batteries and related systems, to the extent that they affect the battery, are defined in this recommended practice. Design of the dc system and sizing of the dc battery charger(s) are beyond the scope of this document. Only lead-acid and nickel-cadmium battery technologies are covered in this recommended practice. An outline (not necessarily in training order) of the items that should be covered by training programs for stationary battery installation and maintenance personnel is provided. Certifying trained personnel and providing its own battery technician training programs will not be performed by IEEE.

1657-2009
IEEE Recommended Practice for Personnel Qualifications for Installation and Maintenance of Stationary Batteries
This recommended practice defines the areas of recommended knowledge for installers and maintainers of stationary batteries and related systems to the extent that they affect the battery. Design of the dc system and sizing of the dc battery charger(s) are beyond the scope of this recommended practice. This document covers lead-acid and nickel-cadmium battery technologies.
1657a-2015
IEEE Recommended Practice for Personnel Qualifications for Installation and Maintenance of Stationary Batteries - Amendment 1: Updated Safety Sections
This amendment to IEEE Std 1657-2009 modifies Clause 5 as well as related annexes, and adds a new annex, primarily consisting of a flowchart that guides the user in the proper choices of personal protective equipment (PPE).
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
No Inactive-Reserved Standards
