PS-05.02B

Structural Measures include the following aspects:

1. Establishment of fire sections with a fire resistance duration of at least 90 minutes for all structural parts, or alternatively, equivalent organisational and technical measures that ensure the same level of protection standard as 90-minutes fire-resistant structural parts or establishment of compensating measures for containing fires and maintaining operational capability. If compensating measures are taken into account, the fire resistance of structural parts has to be at least 60 minutes;
2. Effective implementation of measures to protect against lightning and overvoltage damage; and
3. Effective implementation of measures to protect against flooding, unless critical facilities are located significantly above the highest flood level at the location of the cloud data centre. Additionally, appropriate measures to mitigate the effects of heavy rain are implemented, unless critical facilities are located significantly above the backwater level at the location of the cloud data centre.


Structural parts are walls, ceilings, floors, doors, windows and other breakthroughs like ventilation flaps, etc.

Compensating measures can take into account aspects such as:

1. Partitioning and layout of fire sections;
2. Extinguishing systems within the fire sections;
3. Early and very early fire detection mechanisms;
4. Redundancy of systems and supply facilities within the premise; and
5. Period of time the locations and premises can withstand a fire impairing a data hall without a second data hall catching fire.

The cloud service provider should describe the measures taken to protect its premises and buildings against fire as part of the system description.

The location of all critical facilities in relation to the highest historically recorded flood level at the cloud data centre site or the site's backwater level acts as the starting point for considering flood and heavy rain protection measures.
