What is EN 50600?
EN 50600 is a European series of standards for data centre facilities and infrastructure. Its parts cover building construction, power distribution, environmental control, cabling, physical security systems and operational management.
Availability classes help project teams set requirements for critical infrastructure. The series also addresses protection against unauthorised access, intrusion, fire and other physical risks. Performance indicators, such as Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE), provide a basis for monitoring efficiency. The relevant requirements depend on the facility's risks and intended use.
