Facility assessment

Data Center Design and Constructed Facility

Whether it's for new data centers or an existing one, validation ensures that the data center facility has been built according to the applicable standards and international best practices. Regrettably, challenges in quality and conformity can sometimes arise due to various factors. These may include economic pressures, tight deadlines, varying level of expertise, misunderstanding of standards, or occasional lapses in attention to detail. In some cases, workmanship may not meet the expected standards.

EPI provides conformity audits and certification services for data centre facilities against ANSI/TIA-942, ISO/IEC 22237 and EN 50600. Its published service scope includes design and constructed-facility assessment, container and prefabricated solutions, modular data centres and product certification. DCAA coordinates applicable enquiries.

Operational assessment

Data Center Operations

Besides building highly resilient facilities with redundancy at various levels, many data center owners/operators have come to realise that without having adequate governance processes and maintenance programs, the availability levels would be seriously impacted and erode the investment made in the data center facility as well as putting the data center and its customers at undue risk.

EPI provides the DCOS® (Data Center Operations Standard) audit and certification services. The DCOS® audit will benchmark the data center governance, operations and maintenance based on all, or a subset, of the 11 complete disciplines for a fully managed mission critical facility.

Certification Body (CB)

EPI is a registered Certification Body and follows documented audit and certification procedures, with oversight under the applicable schemes. DCAA supports local enquiries and coordination; EPI retains assessment and certification authority.

Recognition

EPI’s certifications are well-recognised and highly regarded in the global data center industry, fostering confidence of end-users in both public and private sectors.
