49–72 / 84
Executive Office of the President / Federal Register 2025
Check the 100 MW new-load and $500 million capex thresholds early to decide whether a US project can use the federal streamlining.
ISO/IEC 2021
At project setup, offer ISO/IEC 22237 alongside EN 50600 as a selectable standard profile.
Kişisel Verileri Koruma Kurumu (KVKK) 2025
When the 'personal data hosted' flag is set, require locked server rooms with access logging, fire and flood protection and segregated backup storage rooms in the layout checklist.
Kişisel Verileri Koruma Kurumu (KVKK) 2017
Implement scheduled purge or anonymisation jobs with a configurable interval not exceeding six months, including backups.
Kişisel Verileri Koruma Kurumu (KVKK) 2025
Treat any foreign-located support engineer's remote session into a Turkish customer's SoSo CAD instance or DCIM as a transfer and gate it behind a standard-contract check.
Kişisel Verileri Koruma Kurumu (KVKK) 2024
If SoSo CAD uses foreign sub-processors (cloud, email, monitoring), maintain an unmodified KVKK standard contract for each transfer path.
IEC 2017
In a fault-loop checker, compute fault-loop impedance for each final and distribution circuit and verify automatic disconnection times for the chosen earthing system.
IEC 2025
In the electrical rules engine, use IEC 60364-1 as the root of the low-voltage rule set.
IEC 2024
When cable routes cross fire-compartment boundaries, require a fire-stopping element and warn if it is missing.
IEC 2023
In cable and protection sizing, implement Ib <= In <= Iz and I2 <= 1.45 Iz style coordination checks together with short-circuit withstand.
IEC 2024
In the cable sizing engine, base ampacity on installation-method tables with grouping and temperature derating.
IEC 2020
In the switchboard catalogue, store the assembly's rated current (InA), the group rated current or rated diversity factor per circuit, Icw/Ipk and the form of separation.
NFPA 2026
When NEC is selected, check article numbers against the 2026 edition because the reorganization moved content (for example the rules above 1 000 V).
NFPA 2027
In the arc-flash module, after the IEEE 1584 incident-energy calculation, produce NFPA 70E-style equipment labels (incident energy, arc-flash boundary, working distance).
NFPA 2025
In the fire module (US profile), place detectors per room type.
National Institute of Standards and Technology 2020
In data-centre power design, set PE-9 requirements for physically separated redundant cabling paths and automatic voltage control on critical components, and define the separation distance as an organisational parameter.
Open Compute Project Foundation 2024
Add a jurisdiction-aware compliance check: for German sites flag PUE 1.3 and the 10/15/20% energy-reuse targets by commissioning date.
International Energy Agency 2026
In the grid-connection module, support firm and non-firm (curtailable, phased, dynamic-limit) options and size the BESS or genset capacity needed to ride through curtailment hours.
EPRI (Electric Power Research Institute) 2024
When a user picks a US state, show regional data-centre load share and growth scenarios as context for utility interconnection lead times.
U.S. Department of Energy, Secretary of Energy Advisory Board (SEAB) 2024
Offer alternatives to diesel (gas, BESS, fuel cells) in backup-power design.
European Commission 2026
Set the PUE target for new designs against the bands in the report (below 1.2 excellent, above 1.5 needs improvement) and possible future minimum-standard thresholds, noting that the 500-1000 kW class averaged 1.64.
European Commission, DG ENER (Viegand Maagoe and COWI) 2023
Add an "in scope of EED Article 12" check that computes installed IT power from nominal IT equipment power and compares it with the final-text 500 kW threshold, not the 100 kW proposed in this report.
European Commission, DG ENER (Viegand Maagoe and COWI) 2023
Add local design limits (Noord-Holland design PUE of at most 1.16, German 27 degree inlet temperature) as configurable warnings rather than hard rules, since some are drafts or local.
European Commission, DG ENER (Viegand Maagoe and COWI) 2023
Plan an "EED report export" in the design and operations model that can pre-fill the EU database template: rated IT kW, floor areas, energy, water, heat reuse and renewable fields.
