ANSI/BICSI-002 Data Center Design & Implementation Best Practices
This Standard provides a best practices and implementation standard that will complement TIA, CENELEC, and ISO/IEC data center standards. It is primarily a design standard with installation requirements and guidelines primarily related to implementing a design. The Standard includes other installation requirements and guidelines for data centers, where appropriate. The Standard attempts to avoid duplicating content already addressed in other standards and guidelines, but provides references to other standards and guidelines where they are applicable to data centers. Applicable standards and guidelines include, but are not limited to, those from BICSI, CENELEC, ANSI, TIA, ISO, IEC, NEMA, NFPA, ASHRAE, IEEE, T1E1 (ATIS), UL, ASTM, RUS, ADA, OSHA, Telcordia (Bellcore), and ETSI. ANSI/BICSI-002 is expected to appeal to a broad cross-section of Information Transport Systems (ITS) professionals. Examples of such ITS professionals includes:
Information Technology and Telecommunications Designers
