Certified & Verified
These certifications have been independently audited and awarded — a foundation of proven excellence that our customers can rely on today.
TIA-942 Rated 3 Design
Telecommunications Infrastructure Standard for Data Centers — Rating 3
Achieved
TIA-942 is the gold-standard framework for datacenter infrastructure design, covering power, cooling, physical security, cabling, and site topology. A Rated 3 (equivalent to Uptime Tier III) designation means the facility is designed for concurrent maintainability — any component can be serviced or replaced without taking the datacenter offline.
WHY THIS MATTERS
- Gurantees continuous operations — planned maintenance never requires downtime
- Built to Seismic Zone 5 specifications — resilient against Nepal's earthquake risk
- Trusted benchmark for enterprises, banks, and government agencies selecting colocation partners
- Validates N+1 redundancy across power, cooling, and network infrastructure
Edge Certification
Energy-Efficient Edge Datacenter Design Certification
Achieved
Edge Certification recognises data centers that meet strict energy efficiency, environmental responsibility, and sustainable design benchmarks for edge computing deployments. Data World's facilities achieve a Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of less than 1.4 — significantly better than the global industry average of 1.58 — confirming our commitment to green, responsible infrastructure.
WHY THIS MATTERS
- PUE < 1.4 means more of every unit of energy goes to computing — not wasted as heat
- Directly reduces your organisation's operational carbon footprint
- Supports ESG reporting requirements for enterprises operating in Nepal
- Future-proofs infrastructure as Nepal's power grid evolves toward renewables
Our Certification Roadmap
We are actively pursuing these globally recognised standards. Each certification reflects our commitment to
delivering infrastructure that meets the expectations of international enterprises, regulators, and auditors.
TIA-942 Rated 3 (Facility)
In Progress
The TIA-942 Rated 3 Facility certification is the physical verification of our operational environment. While the Design certification validates the blueprints, the Facility certification confirms that the data center has been built and is being operated exactly to those rigorous standards. It ensures that the theoretical "concurrent maintainability" is a physical reality, providing a bulletproof environment for your mission-critical hardware.
WHY THIS MATTERS
- Physical Verification: Guarantees that all installed equipment (UPS, Generators, Chillers) matches the certified high-availability design.
- Concurrent Maintainability in Action: Every component in the power and cooling path can be removed or replaced without impacting the load.
- Rigorous Redundancy: Confirms true N+1 or 2N delivery paths are physically separated to prevent single points of failure.
- Environmental Resilience: Validates that physical security, fire suppression, and leak detection systems meet global Tier 3 safety benchmarks.
- Audit-Ready Compliance: Provides enterprises and financial institutions with a third-party verified site that meets the strictest regulatory and insurance requirements.
Uptime Institute Tier III
In Progress
Uptime Institute Tier Certification — Tier III Operations
The Uptime Institute Tier III certification is the world's most recognised and rigorously audited datacenter reliability standard. It validates not just the design but the actual construction and operational performance of the facility — ensuring 99.982% uptime and full concurrent maintainability in practice
WHY THIS MATTERS
- Recognised by global Fortune 500 companies as the definitive datacenter benchmark
- Confirms 99.982% uptime — less than 1.6 hours of downtime per year
- Required by international banks, financial institutions, and multinational enterprises for vendor selection
ISO 9001:2015
In Progress
Quality Management System Standard
ISO 9001:2015 certifies that Data World operates a documented, audited, and continuously improving Quality Management System (QMS). It ensures that every process — from customer onboarding and incident response to infrastructure provisioning — meets consistent, measurable quality standards.
WHY THIS MATTERS
- Ensures consistent service quality and reliability across all operations
- Mandatory for government procurement and public sector tenders in Nepal and globally
- Drives a culture of continuous improvement, reducing service failures over time
ISO 22301:2019
In Progress
Business Continuity Management System Standard
ISO 9001:2015 certifies that Data World operates a documented, audited, and continuously improving Quality Management System (QMS). It ensures that every process — from customer onboarding and incident response to infrastructure provisioning — meets consistent, measurable quality standards.
WHY THIS MATTERS
- Critical for FinTech, BFI, and telecom sectors requiring resilience under Nepal's NRB and NTA regulations
- Ensures defined Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs)
- Demonstrates Nepal-specific disaster resilience planning (seismic, flooding, grid instability)
ISO 27001:2022
In Progress
Information Security Management System Standard (2022 edition)
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is the world's leading standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). The 2022 edition introduces updated controls for cloud security, threat intelligence, and supply chain security. Certification confirms that Data World systematically identifies, manages, and minimises information security risks across its entire operation.
WHY THIS MATTERS
- Required by multinational enterprises, banks, and data-sensitive industries as a non-negotiable vendor prerequisite
- Addresses cybersecurity, physical security, access controls, and data protection holistically
- Directly supports regulatory compliance with Nepal's Electronic Transaction Act and emerging data protection laws
ISO 22237
In Progress
Data Centre Facilities & Infrastructure Series Standard
ISO 22237 is a multi-part international standard series developed specifically for data centre facilities and infrastructure. It covers classification of data centre concepts, power distribution, environmental controls, physical security, and management systems — providing a comprehensive, technology-neutral framework that succeeds earlier standards like EN 50600 for global recognition.
WHY THIS MATTERS
- The emerging global successor standard for datacenter classification — positioning Data World for future international comparability
- Aligns infrastructure design with EU and international procurement requirements for cross-border enterprise customers
- Covers the full infrastructure lifecycle — from power and cooling to security and management systems
