Innovation, safety, and responsibility

The aerospace industry is considered a key technology for the economy, research and national security. However, with the increasing use of space-based IT and communication systems, the risk of cyber attacks on critical infrastructures is also increasing.

IT security is becoming increasingly important for the manufacturers and operators of satellites and satellite components.

TÜV NORD supports manufacturers and operators with independent testing of the security that urgently needs to be ensured.

Carbon Management
Carbon management encompasses strategies to reduce and control carbon emissions in order to combat climate change. It involves the measurement, analysis, and optimization of CO₂ emissions within a company. The goal is to minimize environmental impact through sustainable practices and technologies while contributing collectively to achieving the climate targets set by the EU and Germany.
Certification of data centers according to TSI, EN 50600, or ISO/IEC 22237
The certification of data centers according to TSI, EN 50600, or ISO/IEC 22237 by TÜV NORD guarantees availability, security, and resilience. Since 2002, over 1,000 projects have been successfully completed, making certified data centers a reliable benchmark in Germany and internationally and creating trust among third-party users.
Certification of technical control centers according to TSA.STANDARD
The certification of alarm receiving centers and technical control centers in accordance with TSA.STANDARD or EN 50518 by TÜV NORD guarantees maximum reliability. It provides objective proof of the effective implementation of technical, operational, and organizational requirements, including process control and plant monitoring centers, for precise control and monitoring.
Commissioning of data centers
TÜV NORD's commissioning of data centers includes integration tests that ensure the proper functioning of critical infrastructure such as power supply, climate control, and security systems. As a neutral third party, TÜV NORD provides quality assurance to ensure trouble-free operation and verify system interactions.
Conformity assessment of data centers
TÜV NORD's conformity assessment of data centers ensures physical security and availability through standards such as TSI, EN 50600, and ISO/IEC 22237. These provide comprehensive requirements definitions for power supply, climate control, building construction, and security systems, enabling companies to demand quality guarantees from colocation providers.
TSA.STANDARD: Physical protection of alarm receiving centers/technical control centers
The TSA.STANDARD from TÜV NORD is a comprehensive catalog of criteria for the certification of alarm receiving centers and technical control centers, based on DIN EN 50518. It ensures physical security and reliability, supplemented by additional features for functional safety. Continuous further development ensures conformity with the current state of the art.
TSE.STANDARD: Energy efficiency & sustainability in data centers
The TSE.STANDARD from TÜV NORD supports data centers in implementing energy efficiency and sustainability in accordance with the Climate Neutral Data Center Pact and the Energy Efficiency Act. It offers a modular system for compliance with EU directives and ISO 50001:2018 to demonstrate CO2 neutrality and sustainable operation.
TSI.PROFESSIONAL Training
The TSI.PROFESSIONAL training course from TÜV NORD offers comprehensive insights into the planning, construction, and operation of data centers, based on the TSI methodology and the TSI.STANDARD. It covers physical security, availability, and energy efficiency, based on BSI IT-Grundschutz and standards such as DIN EN 50600.
TSI.STANDARD: Availability & Physical Protection of Data Centers
TSI.STANDARD is a methodology developed by TÜV NORD for evaluating and certifying the physical security and availability of data centers. It offers a holistic approach that takes into account the physical infrastructure, organizational processes, and documentation to ensure high availability and security of the infrastructure.
