This European Standard addresses environmental control within data centres based upon the criteria and classifications for “availability”, “security” and “energy efficiency enablement” within EN 50600-1.
This European Standard specifies requirements and recommendations for the following:
-
temperature control,
-
fluid movement control,
-
relative humidity control,
-
particulate control,
-
vibration,
-
floor layout and equipment locations,
-
energy saving practices,
-
physical security of environmental control systems.
For issues related to electromagnetic environment, see EN 50600-2-5.
