European foreword
This document (CLC/TR 50600-99-1:2016) has been prepared by CLC/TC 215 “Electrotechnical
aspects of telecommunication equipment” in conjunction with the Directorate-General Joint Research
Council (DG JRC) of the European Commission (EC).
This document aligns with the Best Practices document of the Code of Conduct for Data Centre
Energy Efficiency (CoC) scheme operated by the DG JRC and continues to be prepared by data centre
experts from operators, vendors, consultants, academics, professional and national bodies.
The publication of this Technical Report is intended to integrate recommended Practices of energy
management into the EN 50600 series of standards developed by CLC TC 215 and also to widen
accessibility and increase participation in the CoC scheme by ensuring translation of the Best Practices
into multiple languages.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CENELEC by the European Commission
and the European Free Trade Association.
Introduction
The unrestricted access to internet-based information demanded by the information society has led to
an exponential growth of both internet traffic and the volume of stored/retrieved data. Data centres are
housing and supporting the information technology and network telecommunications equipment for
data processing, data storage and data transport. They are required both by network operators
(delivering those services to customer premises) and by enterprises within those customer premises.
Data centres need to provide modular, scalable and flexible facilities and infrastructures to easily
accommodate the rapidly changing requirements of the market. In addition, energy consumption of
data centres has become critical both from an environmental point of view (reduction of carbon
footprint) and with respect to economic considerations (cost of energy) for the data centre operator.
The implementation of data centres varies in terms of:
a) purpose (enterprise, co-location, co-hosting, or network operator facilities);
b) security level;
c) physical size;
d) accommodation (mobile, temporary and permanent constructions).
The needs of data centres also vary in terms of availability of service, the provision of security and the
objectives for energy efficiency. These needs and objectives influence the design of data centres in
terms of building construction, power distribution, environmental control and physical security. Effective
management and operational information is required to monitor achievement of the defined needs and
objectives.
This series of European Standards specifies requirements and recommendations to support the
various parties involved in the design, planning, procurement, integration, installation, operation and
maintenance of facilities and infrastructures within data centres. These parties include:
1) owners, facility managers, ICT managers, project managers, main contractors;
2) architects, consultants, building designers and builders, system and installation designers;
3) facility and infrastructure integrators, suppliers of equipment;
4) installers, maintainers.
At the time of publication of this Technical Report, EN 50600 series will comprise the following
standards and documents:
EN 50600-1, Information technology — Data centre facilities and infrastructures — Part 1: General
concepts;
EN 50600-2-1, Information technology — Data centre facilities and infrastructures — Part 2-1: Building
construction;
EN 50600-2-2, Information technology — Data centre facilities and infrastructures — Part 2-2: Power
distribution;
EN 50600-2-3, Information technology — Data centre facilities and infrastructures — Part 2-3:
Environmental control;
EN 50600-2-4, Information technology — Data centre facilities and infrastructures — Part 2-4:
Telecommunications cabling infrastructure;
EN 50600-2-5, Information technology — Data centre facilities and infrastructures — Part 2-5: Security
systems;
EN 50600-3-1, Information technology — Data centre facilities and infrastructures — Part 3-1:
Management and operational information.

Recommended practices for energy management
The inter-relationship of the standards within the EN 50600 series is shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1 — Schematic relationship between the EN 50600 series of documents
EN 50600-2-X standards specify requirements and recommendations for particular facilities and
infrastructures to support the relevant classification for “availability”, “physical security” and “energy
efficiency enablement” selected from EN 50600-1.
EN 50600-3-X documents specify requirements and recommendations for data centre operations,
processes and management.
EN 50600-4-X documents specify requirements and recommendations for key performance indicators
(KPIs) used to assess and improve the resource usage efficiency and effectiveness, respectively, of a
data centre.
The Directorate-General Joint Research Council (DG JRC) of the European Commission operates a
Code of Conduct for Data Centre Energy Efficiency (CoC) scheme. In support of the scheme, a “best
practices” document has been established by DG JRC. To enhance the visibility, these Best Practices
have been converted in this Technical Report to create recommended Practices for improving the
energy management (i.e. reduction of energy consumption and/or increases in energy efficiency) of
data centres.
The areas addressed are:
— physical building;
— mechanical and electrical equipment;
