Introduction

The two-day EN 50600 Data Center Expert Training equips you to seamlessly integrate availability, physical security, and energy efficiency in line with the EN 50600 standard—the cornerstone of modern data center design.

Since its initial parts were published in 2014, EN 50600 has been the first European standard explicitly centered on the availability and physical security of data centers. 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:

  • Align availability classes, Protection Classes, and energy efficiency metrics with project goals
  • Interpret and fulfil tender specifications that explicitly reference EN 50600
  • Implement compliant, future-proof designs using proven methodologies

 

With over 2,000 data center evaluation and certification projects since 2001, TÜV NORD has been a trusted partner in shaping Europe’s data center infrastructure from the very beginning. Our Trusted Site Infrastructure (TSI) methodology integrates EN 50600, ISO/IEC 22237, and other key industry standards—and has been adopted by major market leaders.

The reality is clear: In today’s standards-driven landscape, mastering EN 50600 is no longer optional—it is a professional imperative to remain credible, compliant, and competitive.
