About ANSI/TIA-942

The ANSI/TIA-942 Data Center Infrastructure Standard covers site location, telecommunications infrastructure,  architectural and physical structure of the building, electrical and mechanical infrastructure, fire safety and physical security.

The TIA-942 certification scheme establishes Licensed Certification Bodies (CBs) deemed competent to verify data center conformity with the standard.

Within the TIA-942 certification scheme, CBs are licensed following an evaluation of their organization against recognized standards to ensure their impartiality, competence, and consistency. The licensing process established for this scheme relies on a uniform approach accepted and implemented around the world to determine the competence of an audit organization.
