Products: n/a. Risk band: Low RobotRisk index 8.3/100 (incidents/exposure, time-weighted) · 98th percentile of 213 energy storage companies.
Samsung SDI's record holds one entry: an October 2019 government-led investigation in South Korea into SDI batteries implicated in energy storage system fires, severity 3. This is a regulatory-driven record, not a press account of a discrete accident, reflecting a probe rather than a confirmed single-battery failure. The single-row record shows no trajectory; it captures a one-time regulatory episode. Despite the regulatory nature, Samsung SDI's index of 7.1 sits at the 97.2 percentile within energy-storage, indicating a comparatively low risk standing among category peers.
