The construction and operation or modification of a plant according to the Federal Immission Control Act requires a comprehensive permit management. Operators must go through complex application procedures and submit extensive application documents. Current legal framework conditions and the permit status must always be taken into account.

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.

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.

TÜV NORD's planning assessment of data centers ensures compliance with standards such as TSI.STANDARD, EN 50600, and ISO/IEC 22237. Early review of the draft design allows for corrections to be made in the event of deviations, ensuring high availability classes and optimal structural and technical measures.

The location assessment for data centers is crucial for security. Early identification and mitigation of risks such as water, explosions, and hazardous substances are essential. The location influences the level of security, whereby potential hazards and traffic routes must be taken into account to ensure optimal conditions.

For specific projects, it must be ensured that the effects on the environment are identified, described and assessed comprehensively at an early stage. The type of project and its size or output determine whether it falls under the review obligations of the Environmental Impact Assessment Act (EIA Act).

The TSA.STANDARD certification from TÜV NORD ensures maximum reliability for alarm receiving centers and technical control centers in accordance with DIN EN 50518. It confirms the effective implementation of technical, operational, and organizational requirements for the reliable reception and processing of emergency calls and alarm signals 24/7.

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.

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.
