Load testing a newly installed battery bank, ANSI requirement?

[Sanjayo]

29. According to ANSI a newly installed battery bank should be load tested after:
a. 1 year
b. 2 years
c. 4 years
d. 5 years


Does anyone know the answer to this, I think its within 2 years of installation?

Found this on one manufacturers documentation:

"Conduct load test two years[emphasis added] after installation and then every five years. When the
system’s capacity falls below 90% load test annually."
