A framework for data centre operators to monitor, manage, and optimise resource consumption — systematically.
ISO 19395 specifies requirements for monitoring and controlling data centre resources — energy, water, cooling, and computing resources — to improve efficiency and sustainability. It is relevant to data centre operators, colocation providers, and cloud infrastructure operators.

- Resource monitoring systemsImplement comprehensive monitoring for power consumption, cooling efficiency, water use, and computing resource utilisation across the data centre infrastructure.
- Power usage effectiveness (PUE) managementEstablish the measurement systems and operational controls that track and improve PUE — the primary efficiency metric for data centre operations.
- Alarm and incident managementBuild the alert thresholds, escalation procedures, and incident response processes that prevent resource anomalies from becoming service disruptions.
- Reporting and benchmarkingImplement the performance reporting and benchmarking processes that demonstrate resource efficiency to clients, regulators, and management.
The business case
Systematic resource monitoring drives the operational decisions that cut energy and cooling costs — the largest operating expense in data centre operations.
Data centre clients and regulators increasingly require evidence of systematic energy and resource efficiency management.
Comprehensive resource monitoring identifies the environmental and power anomalies that, unchecked, lead to equipment failures and service disruptions.
Data centres are significant energy consumers. ISO 19395-aligned monitoring provides the data that credible sustainability reporting requires.
The certification journey
Most firms hand you a document pack and leave. We stay with you from gap assessment through certification — and beyond.
We audit your current operations against the standard's requirements and show you exactly where you stand.
We build your management system — policies, procedures, process maps — tailored to how your business actually works.
We work alongside your team on the ground to embed the system into daily operations and train your people to own it.
We run a full internal audit cycle, close any gaps, and make sure you're ready before the certification body arrives.
We support you through the certification audit — and stay available for surveillance prep and continuous improvement after.
