Standards & evidence
- DIN EN 50173 and DIN EN 50174 — the normative reference, not a guideline
- DIN EN 50600 series, including 50600-4 for operational management
- IEC 61935-1 for installed cabling certification
6h typical mobilisationDACH
Data center engineering in Germany.
Frankfurt is continental Europe's densest interconnection market, and German operators document everything. The commercial reality is that a field engineer who cannot produce a German-language test record and a signed Übergabeprotokoll is not useful, however fast they are.

Local delivery context
The details that matter on site.
Regulatory context
- BSI IT-Grundschutz where the customer is public sector or critical infrastructure
- TISAX for automotive and supply-chain customers
- NIS2 through the German implementation, plus KRITIS obligations for affected operators
- EU GDPR under Bundesdatenschutzgesetz
Safety & site access
- DGUV Vorschrift 3 for electrical installations and equipment testing
- SiGeKo coordination and written Gefährdungsbeurteilung where construction work is involved
- SCC or equivalent safety certification for contract engineers on industrial sites
The customer’s site rules and contract take precedence. Standards, access requirements and response times are confirmed for your specific facility during scoping.

Access & working windows
Plan around the facility.
Personnel vetting is common in Frankfurt facilities. We provide named engineer lists in advance, photo ID on arrival and signed NDAs. Some operators require a Werkschutz escort for the full duration.
Frankfurt, Berlin and Munich hubs give six-hour mobilisation. German operators frequently require written change approval (Änderungsantrag) before the window opens — allow two working days.
Working languages: German (native), English.
Power & testing
Verify, then hand over.
230/400 V, 50 Hz. IEC 60320 C13 and C19; CEE 16 A and 32 A for distribution and test loads.
Certification to IEC 61935-1 with German-language reports. fibre links tested to IEC 61280-4-2 with OLTS and OTDR traces retained per link.
Local questions
Before you build in Germany.
Do you provide test documentation in German?
Yes. Native XML test results plus a German-language PDF handover and Übergabeprotokoll. The record is written to be handed straight to an auditor.
Can your engineers satisfy BSI or TISAX audits?
Our engineers work to BSI IT-Grundschutz handling expectations and we can produce the personnel and process evidence a TISAX assessment asks for. We are not a certification body and will not claim to be.
How do you handle DGUV V3 obligations?
Electrical testing of equipment is a separate competence from our install scope. We can identify what needs testing and hand it to a qualified Prüftechniker, or work alongside yours.
