IEC 61587-1:2022 specifies environmental requirements, test set-ups, as well as safety aspects for empty enclosures, i.e. cabinets, racks, subracks, chassis, chassis integrated subracks and associated plug-in units under indoor condition use and transportation. It defines classifications (product performance levels) for these products, regarding and simulating the usually arising loads during their use. For mechanical static and dynamic load tests typical examples with dummy loads are used.
The purpose of this document is to establish defined levels of physical performance in order to meet certain requirements of manufacture, storage, transport and final location conditions.
This document applies in general only to the above cited mechanical structures.

IEC TS 62966-3:2021 defines the requirements for operational and personal safety of aisle containments for IT cabinets.
The aim is to provide physical security for the IT equipment installed in the containment using the criteria “availability” and “safety”.
The requirements apply to all operational, working and maintenance procedures.
This document does not apply to ordinary persons, when using installations and equipment.
The requirements described herein are also intended to ensure that it is possible for authorized personnel to enter and remain in the containment (as accessible equipment) and to maintain or upgrade the systems installed in the containment without risk. It should also be possible to evacuate the containment quickly and safely at any time, especially in the event of a fire or any other hazardous situation, whilst reducing the health risk to personnel to a minimum.
Aspects relating to computing, data processing, data storage, building protection or the data centre itself do not fall within the scope of this document. Only those additional aspects arising from the integration of an aisle containment are considered.
The design and positioning of an aisle containment, which is integrated in the data centre, has influence on the following different aspects of operational safety:
a) escape and evacuation plans;
b) escape routes;
c) emergency exits;
d) functional aspects of escape doors;
e) lighting conditions
f) lighting and signposting of escape routes;
g) fire protection.
In this document, these operational safety requirements and recommendations are considered.
To achieve the highest effectiveness, all these requirements are considered as much as possible during the design of an aisle containment.
This document applies to normal operations, not to the initial installation of the containment.

IEC 62966-2:2020 is dedicated to aisle containment techniques for information technology (IT) equipment typically used in data centres, describes the quantification of its air tightness, in particular the air loss ratio that describes the content of the volumetric flow not used for cooling the IT equipment. This ratio provides an index of efficiency, being inversely proportional to efficiency (the lower this ratio, the higher the efficiency). This document provides methods to measure an aisle containment air leakage rate and defines a classification system for aisle containment leakage.
This document defines:
- the measurement of the air leakage of the individual components of an aisle containment;
- a method for calculating the air leakage of an aisle containment based on its individual components;
- a method for calculating the air leakage rate of an aisle containment in relation to the utilised IT equipment;
- a classification system for aisle containment leakage.

IEC 62610-6:2020 deals with thermal management for cabinets in accordance with IEC 60297 and IEC 60917 series, provides compatible measurement methods of recirculation ratio and bypass ratio which are indicators for defining quality of airflow in the forced air cooling that can be commonly applied to indoor cabinets for mounting subrack and/or chassis-based equipment.
This document contains the following:
a) the definition of recirculation and bypass flow rates in the cooling of the cabinet,
b) the levels of the recirculation ratio RC,
c) the definition of the formula for the recirculation ratio RCs of forced air cooling subrack and/or chassis-based equipment installed in the cabinet,
d) the definition formula of recirculation ratio RCr and bypass rate BPr of the entire cabinet,
e) the requirements of the measuring method of each temperature necessary for calculating the recirculation ratio RCs, RCr and bypass ratio BPr.
The purpose of this document is to provide:
• for the equipment integrator and development designer of the cabinet the criteria for efficiently and correctly determining the specification, and
• for the supplier of the cabinet the measuring and classifying method for the airflow recirculation rate of the subrack and/or chassis-based equipment installed in the cabinet.
