Compliance Criteria for Modular Data Center

This podcast focuses on compliance criteria for modular data centers (MDCs) in the United States, specifically addressing National Electric Code (NEC) requirements. The speaker defines MDCs, distinguishes them from micro and mobile data centers, and explains the NEC's role as a minimum standard, noting that local jurisdictions may impose stricter rules. Key compliance aspects include equipment listing and labeling (e.g., UL 62368-1 for IT equipment), proper installation according to manufacturer specifications, and MDC certification options (UL 2755). The speaker outlines three compliance approaches: code review, preliminary design review, and field evaluation, emphasizing the importance of consulting local authorities and participating in the MDC project community for successful deployment.
