Certification for Secure and High-Availability Data Centers

ISO/IEC 22237 provides comprehensive guidance for the design, construction, and operation of data centers, ensuring high levels of physical security and availability. It offers a holistic framework for planners, builders, and operators to develop future-ready infrastructure aligned with the latest industry standards.

Unlocking Global Excellence: The Power of ISO/IEC 22237 Certification

In an increasingly interconnected world, data centers are the backbone of global commerce and communication. The ISO/IEC 22237 series of standards emerges as the international benchmark for data center infrastructure, providing a harmonized framework for planning, building, and operating facilities worldwide. As the direct evolution and international equivalent of the European EN 50600 standard, ISO/IEC 22237 offers a universal language for data center excellence.

TUV USA understands that global reach demands global standards. By pursuing ISO/IEC 22237 certification, your organization not only adheres to best practices but also signals an unwavering commitment to reliability, security, and operational efficiency on an international scale. This is not merely about compliance; it's about establishing a competitive edge in the global marketplace.

The International Framework: Structure of ISO/IEC 22237

The ISO/IEC 22237 standard provides a comprehensive and modular approach to data center infrastructure, ensuring that all critical aspects are addressed. Its structure mirrors the holistic philosophy of its European predecessor, but with an emphasis on global applicability.

The requirements of ISO/IEC 22237 are currently divided into the following 7 parts:

  • ISO/IEC 22237-1: General concepts
  • ISO/IEC 22237-2: Building design
  • ISO/IEC 22237-3: Power supply
  • ISO/IEC 22237-4: Control of environmental conditions
  • ISO/IEC TS 22237-5: Telecommunications cabling infrastructure
  • ISO/IEC 22237-6: Security systems
  • ISO/IEC TS 22237-7: Information for management and operation

Global Recognition and Unmatched Benefits

The primary advantage of ISO/IEC 22237 certification lies in its global recognition. For data center operators with international aspirations or those serving multinational clients, this standard provides a unified and universally understood assurance of quality and resilience. It simplifies cross-border operations and fosters trust among diverse stakeholders.

Key benefits of ISO/IEC 22237 certification include:

  • Enhanced Trust and Credibility: A single, internationally recognized certificate validates your data center's infrastructure, building confidence with customers, partners, and investors worldwide.
  • Operational Consistency: Ensures that data centers are planned, built, and operated according to the same high principles, regardless of geographical location.
  • Risk Mitigation: By adhering to a globally accepted framework, organizations can systematically identify and mitigate risks related to availability, security, and operational continuity.
  • Competitive Differentiation: Positions your data center as a leader in the global market, demonstrating a commitment to excellence that surpasses regional standards.
