Ensure complete and constant data center availability
Ensure complete and constant data center availability
Data center play a fundamental role in the world’s digital economy as organizations and consumers increasingly rely on the applications, services and data held within them. As your trusted data center partner, our services support tenants/colocation and owners.
Businesses depend on the reliability of their data center services to ensure operations function safely and continuously. If the service level that internal and external customers depend on is to be consistently met and exceeded, security and availability must be a top priority. These challenges are a vital consideration at the initial planning and commissioning stages, with commissioning management effectiveness relying on the construction phase fulfilling quality assurance, regulatory compliance and operational performance demands.
It is also imperative to have ongoing confidence in and maintain the continuous health of your data center services. This puts multiple demands on data center management as they must prove to stakeholders a data center’s reliability, sustainability, safety and security. The effective measurement of data center sustainability compliance is also a key challenge to ensuring future readiness certainty.
We offer full data center infrastructure services according to ISO/IEC 22237 and EN50600, as well as testing & commissioning, supporting our customers with data center assessment solutions that increase the security, quality control and availability of their data center services.

Since 2015, data center service providers in Europe have relied on the EN 50600 standard to provide clarity. Subsequently, ISO/IEC 22237 adopted this approach and elevates EN 50600 to an international level.
ISO/IEC 22237 pursues a holistic approach to design, construction and operation, enabling data centers to be planned, built and operated worldwide according to identical principles. This provides designers and planners with complete clarity and gives tenants and data center service providers trust in the availability of data center services, and the quality control of their management processes on a global scale.
From preparation and pre-audits up to data center certification, TÜV SÜD supports the implementation of ISO/IEC 22237 through our global network of experts.
A data center that is in accordance with ISO/IEC 22237 must meet clear requirements with respect to availability, security ratings and data center energy efficiency, all of which must be considered right from the design and construction stage. These requirements have been defined in the seven parts of the standard:
The crucial advantage of ISO/IEC 22237 data center certification is that a single certificate covers the entire infrastructure, including the definition of measurable KPIs and requirements for operational data center management and energy efficiency. Not only is this an efficient approach, it also enables international comparisons to be drawn and establishes a solid contractual basis for all parties involved.
This is a dynamic process of planning and performing all necessary quality controls that encompass the entire data center infrastructure of complex interfaces and interdependencies. Testing and commissioning is conducted by TÜV SÜD, alongside the tenant and data center service provider, using a five-level approach, which is based upon clearly defined and agreed quality-gates. The successful completion of the commissioning process is marked with a Commissioning Compliance Letter.
Our five-level testing and commissioning approach ensures the quality assurance of commissioning projects. We provide owner’s engineer and technical advisory support to help you to effectively manage commissioning projects through:
