The SDEA is pleased to announce TÜV SÜD as a new independent auditor for SDEA Label. Applicants will be able to draw on TÜV SÜD's decades of technical auditing experience and network of experts to verify compliance with SDEA criteria for energy efficiency and sustainability in datacenters. In addition, TÜV SÜD's recognition and reputation also strengthens confidence in the standards set by SDEA for measuring and improving energy efficiency in the data center industry.
Conversely, this cooperation offers numerous advantages for existing and new clients of TÜV SÜD, which is adding a special certification to its range of services: the complementary approach of SDEA Label allows certified TÜV SÜD clients to also qualify for SDEA Label with little effort. Furthermore, clients who previously only had their datacenter infrastructure certified can also have their IT efficiency certified with SDEA Label. Or – in the case of colocation datacenters – enable IT customers to obtain a holistic "full-stack" certification, which provides evidence of an efficient building infrastructure and IT infrastructure.
The collaboration between SDEA and TÜV SÜD was officially launched at Data Centre World in Frankfurt and marks an important step in the further development of best practices for sustainable datacenters.
