GOST R 58811-2020 PDF

Full title and description

ГОСТ Р 58811-2020 — «Центры обработки данных. Инженерная инфраструктура. Стадии создания» (English: Data centers. Engineering infrastructure. Stages of creation). The standard defines the staged process and constituent phases for creation of the engineering infrastructure of data centres intended to be used on the territory of the Russian Federation.

Abstract

This national standard establishes the stages and internal stages (phases) of creating the engineering infrastructure (power, cooling, mechanical, fire‑safety, monitoring, etc.) for data centres, and specifies the scope of works and expected deliverables at each stage, including site survey, technical concept, design, commissioning, trial operation and handover. It is intended for use during design, construction, commissioning and initial operation of data centre engineering systems.

General information

• Status: Active / Current — introduced into effect as a national standard.
• Publication date: Approved 19 February 2020; brought into force (effective date) 1 August 2020.
• Publisher: Federal Agency on Technical Regulating and Metrology (Rosstandart); official publication distributed via standard publishers (e.g., Standartinform).
• ICS / categories: Classified under general provisions/terminology/standardization (01.040) and relates to information technology and civil engineering sectors (data centres / engineering infrastructure).
• Edition / version: First edition — 2020 (GOST R 58811-2020).
• Number of pages: Approximately 18–20 pages (official catalogue entries report 18–20 pages depending on publisher).

Scope

The standard applies to the engineering infrastructure of data centres of various purposes created by organisations operating in the Russian Federation. It sets out stages of creation of engineering infrastructure, defines internal stages and the composition and content of work at each stage (site assessment, development of technical concept and specifications, design work, construction and installation, commissioning, trial operation and acceptance). The document is intended to be used in conjunction with established construction acceptance rules and related normative documents (for example SP 68.13330.2017 for acceptance into operation).

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of stages and sub‑stages for creating data‑centre engineering infrastructure (from site survey to commissioning and handover).
• Requirements for site survey and documentation to assess suitability of buildings/plots for data‑centre placement.
• Preparation and approval of technical concept and development assignment for engineering systems.
• Specification of expected deliverables and checks at each stage (design packages, test programs, acceptance documentation).
• Rules for conducting commissioning, trial operation and acceptance tests in accordance with applicable construction and commissioning regulations.
• Role definitions and list of participants typically involved at specific stages (developer, designer, contractor, operator, certifying bodies).

Typical use and users

Used by data‑centre owners and operators, system integrators, design and engineering organisations, construction contractors, commissioning teams and regulators working on planning, design, construction, commissioning and initial operation of data‑centre engineering infrastructure in Russia. The standard is also referenced by organisations preparing technical assignments and tender documentation for data‑centre projects.

Related standards

Related normative documents include SP 68.13330.2017 (acceptance into operation of completed construction projects) and the companion national standard ГОСТ Р 58812-2020 (Data centres — Engineering infrastructure — Operational model for exploitation / specification). Other later or connected GOST R documents on data‑centre infrastructure and management may reference or extend the requirements.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ГОСТ Р 58811-2020 is a Russian national standard that defines the stages and stages' content for creating the engineering infrastructure of data centres (power, cooling, mechanical systems, fire safety, monitoring and associated works).

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the lifecycle stages of creating the engineering infrastructure for data centres — site survey and assessment, development of technical concepts and assignments, design, construction and installation, commissioning, trial operation and acceptance — and specifies the composition of works and expected deliverables for each stage.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Designers, engineers, system integrators, construction and commissioning contractors, data‑centre operators, technical customers and regulatory bodies involved in planning, building and bringing data‑centre engineering systems into operation.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: As published, GOST R 58811-2020 is active/current; it was approved 19 February 2020 and entered into force on 1 August 2020. Users should verify if any later amendments or superseding standards exist before applying it to new projects.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is part of a set of national standards on data‑centre engineering and operation introduced in 2020; notably ГОСТ Р 58812-2020 addresses operational model and specification for engineering infrastructure, and the group is intended to be used together with other GOST R and construction rules (e.g., SP 68.13330.2017).

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Data centre; engineering infrastructure; stages of creation; commissioning; technical concept; site assessment; acceptance testing.
