Here’s a polished English translation of the Chinese title: **”Smart Computing for the Future, Compliance Takes the Lead — TÜV SÜD Successfully Hosts AI Data Center Certification and Compliance Workshop”**

With the explosive growth in demand for AI computing power, the construction and deployment of intelligent computing centers are accelerating globally. Significant differences exist in regulatory systems, certification requirements, and technical standards across different countries and regions. Enterprises face numerous challenges in product export, compliance design, and system security, urgently requiring professional technical guidance and end-to-end compliance support. Against this backdrop, TÜV SÜD partnered with CCIC to host this seminar, precisely addressing industry pain points and building an efficient communication platform for government, enterprises, academia, and research institutions, thereby supporting the high-quality development of China’s intelligent computing industry.

Focusing on Compliance Requirements, Tackling International Market Access Challenges
As a globally leading third-party technical service provider, TÜV SÜD leverages its profound technical expertise and extensive global compliance experience to offer enterprises end-to-end recommendations from design to certification, covering aspects such as regional regulations, testing standards, component selection, and information security. During the seminar, Song Lei, Senior Manager of the Industrial Products Division at TÜV SÜD Greater China, combined the regulatory frameworks and certification systems of the European and North American markets, stating: “AI data centers exhibit key differences in electrical safety, energy efficiency, and environmental protection. Targeted strategies must be developed to help enterprises efficiently navigate international market access channels and reduce compliance risks.”

Focusing on the technical and compliance requirements of key AI data center infrastructure, the TÜV SÜD technical expert team delivered systematic insights from multiple dimensions. In terms of power systems, the focus was on testing standards and key technical points for cutting-edge technologies like HVDC and SST, clarifying their design verification pathways within efficient power supply architectures. Regarding standard system construction and quality safety governance, the team delved into the selection principles and safety application requirements of key components for high and low voltage switchgear, based on current standards and regulations, emphasizing the enhancement of overall equipment reliability and safety through source control. On the front of industrial network information security, the discussion centered on the security compliance of AI data center industrial communication architectures, combining the latest international standards and typical attack-defense case studies to explore how to build resilient and trustworthy industrial communication network systems, providing systematic support for the safe and stable operation of data centers in the digital and intelligent era.

In this seminar, CCIC, as a domestic authoritative inspection and certification body, shared insights from the perspective of testing and certification practices, focusing on the compliance requirements for AI data center products and key components. It analyzed certification pathways and testing evaluation methods for data center components, outlining performance verification and compliance points for different application scenarios. Drawing on typical project experiences, it also explored how to enhance product consistency and reliability through effective integration of testing and certification systems, accelerating compliance implementation from individual devices to system-level solutions.

The successful hosting of this seminar not only built a bridge for compliance technology exchange within the industry but also promoted certification coordination and standard alignment in the AI data center field, injecting strong momentum into the high-quality export and localized deployment of China’s intelligent computing industry. Looking ahead, TÜV SÜD will continue to play its role as a bridge and link as a third-party technical organization, partnering with industry chain stakeholders to jointly advance standard innovation and risk control for AI infrastructure, helping China’s intelligent computing industry gain a competitive edge in the global market.
