The Netherlands market
Amsterdam remains one of Europe's top interconnection markets and the Dutch are unusually disciplined about energy and sustainability reporting. Expect operators to ask about the carbon intensity of your travel and whether your materials carry an EPD.
We mobilise from Amsterdam and Rotterdam with a target of 6 hours to site. Amsterdam and Rotterdam hubs give six-hour mobilisation. Overnight windows 23:00–05:00 CET are standard for tenant-impacting work.

How we deliver decommissioning & migration here
Decommissioning in Netherlands carries a data-handling obligation as well as a physical one, and EU GDPR sets the expectation. Media is accounted for unit by unit from removal to the certificate, with no unrecorded steps in between.
- Serial-level inventory captured at removal and reconciled at destination
- Data sanitisation to the customer's standard, with certificates issued per device
- Chain of custody documented for every movement, including intermediate storage
- Racks, trays and cabling removed and the space left in an agreed condition
- Waste streams handled by licensed contractors with transfer documentation retained
Standards and compliance in Netherlands
Work is signed off against the standards that actually apply here, not the ones our engineers are most familiar with. In Netherlands that means NEN-EN 50173 and NEN-EN 50174 as the primary reference, with iec 61935-1 certification as the test regime.
Site safety runs under VCA certification. We supply certificates before mobilisation rather than on request.
Standards applied on site
- NEN-EN 50173 and NEN-EN 50174 for cabling
- NEN-EN 50600 for facility design and operations
- NEN 1010 and NEN 3140 for low-voltage installation and safe operation
- EU GDPR under the AVG, supervised by the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens
- BIR/BIO where the customer is government or a government supplier
- CSRD sustainability reporting for in-scope operators
Site access and safety
Amsterdam facilities are escort-heavy and camera-controlled. Named engineer lists 24 hours ahead is normal; some require a Dutch-language work permit for non-EU staff.
- VCA certification for contract staff on operator and industrial sites
- NEN 3140 competent-person rules for work on or near live electrical parts
Local questions
Working in Netherlands
Are your engineers VCA certified?
Engineers working on Dutch operator and industrial sites hold VCA-B or equivalent. We provide certificates before mobilisation rather than on request.
Can you report on the carbon cost of a call-out?
Yes. We record travel distance and mode per job and can report embodied and travel carbon per intervention, which supports CSRD and Scope 3 reporting.
Do you work in Dutch with site staff?
Yes where it matters. Technical work is commonly run in English in Amsterdam facilities, but our engineers can brief building staff and write incident notes in Dutch.
