[RE-wrenches] Listed Battery Enclosure?

[Mark Frye]

Is there a Standard to which a battery enclosure can be tested such that 
it can be listed and marked as conforming to the requirements of 
performance that a battery enclosure must conform to in order for that 
battery enclosure to be used as a battery enclosure?

Is the inspector looking at the enclosure as a piece of electrical 
system equipment or as secondary containment for the corrosive liquids?
