UL Launches Data Center Programs to Promote Safer Data Center Operating Environments

UL, the global safety science leader, announced two new initiatives today: the Data Center Integrator Qualification (DCIQ) and Immersion Cooling Equipment programs developed to help support the data center industry’s growth. The data center infrastructure sector has recently experienced a surge as a result of increased demand for remote work, cloud computing and business digitalization in both the commercial and consumer sectors. Additionally, the increasing number of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and applications, the rapid adoption of factory automation and new critical applications that rely on newer 5G networks all accelerate data demand.
