The Italy market
Milan is Italy's interconnection hub and the landing point for several Mediterranean routes. Italian sites are documentation-heavy and the DURC requirement is a hard gate before any contractor sets foot on site.
We mobilise from Milan with a target of 10 hours to site. Milan hub gives ten-hour mobilisation across the north. Central and southern Italy are served by planned mobilisation.

How we deliver commissioning & testing here
Commissioning in Italy produces the evidence pack that closes the project: IEC 61935-1 certification with Italian-language reporting, fibre to IEC 61280-4-2. Every test is traceable to a link, an outlet or a rack, because an aggregate pass rate is not something an auditor can use.
- Test plan agreed in advance, naming the standard, the limits and the pass criteria
- Copper and fibre certification on 100% of links, with failures re-terminated and re-tested
- Native test files delivered alongside the human-readable report, so results can be re-verified independently
- Power-on and functional checks recorded per rack, including failover where it is in scope
- Punch list closed out and re-tested before the handover is signed
Standards and compliance in Italy
Work is signed off against the standards that actually apply here, not the ones our engineers are most familiar with. In Italy that means CEI EN 50173 and CEI EN 50174 as the primary reference, with iec 61935-1 certification as the test regime.
Site safety runs under D.Lgs 81/2008 — DUVRI and PSC where construction-classified work applies. We supply certificates before mobilisation rather than on request.
Standards applied on site
- CEI EN 50173 and CEI EN 50174 for cabling
- CEI EN 50600 for facility design and operations
- CEI 64-8 for low-voltage electrical installation
- EU GDPR supervised by the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali
- Perimetro di sicurezza nazionale cibernetica for strategic operators
- AGID requirements for public-sector and cloud tenants
Site access and safety
DURC (regolarità contributiva) must be valid and exchanged before site entry, along with the DUVRI. This is non-negotiable on Italian sites and takes time on first engagement.
- D.Lgs 81/2008 — DUVRI and PSC where construction-classified work applies
- PES/PAV electrical competence qualifications under CEI 11-27

Local questions
Working in Italy
Do you provide DURC and DUVRI documentation?
We provide the contribution-regularity documentation and cooperate fully on the DUVRI. For non-Italian entities the paperwork differs, so we are explicit about which route applies before you commit.
Are your engineers qualified under CEI 11-27?
Electrical competence is held at PES or PAV level as the work requires, and certificates are supplied before mobilisation.
Is documentation delivered in Italian?
Yes — test results, handover and the verbale di collaudo are produced in Italian, with English on request.
