Bibliography

Provides recommendations for the protection against fire of electronic equipment installations, including the equipment (e.g. computers, servers and systems for communications, design, manufacturing and distribution), and the areas containing such equipment (e.g. computer rooms, internet hosting centres, switching centres and data centres).

This British Standard gives recommendations for the protection against fire of electronic equipment installations, including the equipment (e.g. computers, servers and systems for communications, design, manufacturing and distribution), and the areas containing such equipment (e.g. computer rooms, internet hosting centres, switching centres and data centres).

It also gives recommendations for the protection against fire in adjacent areas. This British Standard covers electronic equipment installations categorized as medium, high and critical risk.

Low risk environments are not addressed in this standard. The standard may however be used as guidance for the protection of such environments.

The standard is applicable to new installations; the recommendations may however be used with an existing installation, and when alterations are made to existing areas containing electronic equipment.
