Since 2002, TÜV NORD has been testing and certifying data centres according to the TSI.STANDARD criteria catalogue and the European standard EN 50600 on the basis of the proven Trusted Site Infrastructure (TSI) method for highly available and physically secure IT infrastructures.
The TSI partner programme is a platform designed to promote a general exchange of expertise between TÜV NORD and the TSI.PARTNERS.
TSI.PARTNERS are usually independently active in the planning or construction of TSI-compliant data centres. It is therefore aimed specifically at all engineering offices for technical building equipment, data centre planners, general subcontractors and/or general contractors.
TSI.PARTNERS within the meaning of the TSI Partner Programme are companies that have demonstrated, through their independent involvement in TSI-compliant data centres at the end customer, whether during planning or construction, that they have dealt with the content of the TSI testing and certification programme.
The TSI partner programme is expressly not a form of project-related or other cooperation.
TSI.PARTNERS do not work on behalf of TÜV NORD and are not TSI inspectors or experts authorised by TÜV NORD. No statement is made about the quality of the services and individual competences of TSI.PARTNERS.
The TSI partner programme is designed in such a way that the independence of TÜV NORD is guaranteed for subsequent certification in projects with partner participation.
In addition, 15 companies are currently in the candidate process.
