The EN 50600 Data Center Expert Training by TÜV NORD equips professionals to integrate availability, security, and efficiency in data center design. It covers aligning project goals with EN 50600 standards, interpreting tenders, and implementing compliant designs, ensuring credibility and competitiveness.

It has since become an almost mandatory reference in public tenders and a preferred framework for leading operators across the continent. Without in-depth knowledge of its requirements and practical application, your projects risk falling short of client expectations and regulatory benchmarks.
This focused training goes beyond theory—it enables you to confidently apply EN 50600 across all project phases, from planning to operation. You will learn how to:
