 What is a Data Centre?

COMMON DEFINITION IN EUROPE AND INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS

EN 50600 standards
for data centres structure, or group of structures, dedicated to the centralized accommodation, interconnection and
- operation of information technology and network telecommunications equipment providing data
and their storage, processing and transport services together with all the facilities and infrastructures for
international power distribution and environmental control together with the necessary levels of resilience and
implementation security required to provide the desired service availability.
Note: a structure can consist of multiple buildings and/or spaces with specific functions to support the primary function.
Note: the boundaries of the structure or space considered the data centre which includes the information and communication
technology equipment and supporting environmental controls can be defined within a larger structure or building.

Data

implementation
EN 50600-2-3:2014 Certain 3rd Party organisations wished to

data centres
EN 50600-2-5:2016 against EN 50600

EN 50600-3-1:2016

3rd PARTY CERTIFICATION

3rd Party certifiers have to prove that they fulfil the conditions of the EN ISO/IEC 17065 - which
requires those bodies to undergo an assessment carried out by an accreditation body. This
assessment includes inter alia the proof of neutrality, competence, impartiality etc.

Standards bodies are not in a position to judge whether or not an organization offering
certification meets the underlying requirements - that is the role of accreditation specialists.

Some standards such as ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 are written specifically to enable a formal
certification by a 3rd Party body.

Standards in the EN 50600 series do not define the appropriate procedure, leaving this to bilateral
Layer One
contracts or even national or regional legislation to define a process of certification.
Greece
At the time of writing no such process has been defined and there are no accreditation bodies

 Why CLC/TR 50600-99-3?

WHAT CAN BE CERTIFIED?

EN 50600 standards
for data centres
- An organization under a general design process certification (e.g. ISO 9000), who uses EN 50600
and their as a tool when designing data centres (i.e. the designer is applying the design process correctly)
international
implementation

A data centre “owner” under a systems management process (e.g. ISO 27000), who uses EN
50600-3-1 in a management process.

WHAT CANNOT BE CERTIFIED?

The design or operation of a data centre according to EN 50600 series standards

CLC/TR 50600-99-3 Guidance to the application of EN 50600 Series 2019

 Key Performance Indicators

TECHNICAL KPIs
EN 50600 standards
for data centres ... assessing energy consumption for a number of specific operating conditions and also across a
- combination of such operating conditions
and their
international Assuming those operating conditions reflect the probable operating environment .. a customer may
implementation make valued judgements in relation to the appropriateness of the Technical KPI

For example, a design of power supply that is more task efficient under high load conditions may be
inappropriate for users who plan to predominantly operate under low load conditions (and vice versa)

OBJECTIVE KPIs
... relate to specific elements of energy management for operational infrastructures including:
energy consumption, task efficiency, energy re-use and renewable energy

... define requirements for the measurement of operational infrastructures i.e. taking into account the
real operating conditions over a defined period of time

GLOBAL KPIs

Objective KPIs... may be combined using a formula appropriate to the specific operational
infrastructure to produce one or more Global operational KPIs which reflects the overall performance
of the operational infrastructures against wider energy management targets
...which may be self-imposed by the operators or externally applied by legislators
