Computer Environmental Requirementss

Does anyone know of a specific ISO or FDA or CDA (canuck dopers) requirement regarding the operating environments of computers pertaining to a regulated system?

Specifically I am looking for a regulation stipulating humidity/temp requirements for the rooms where these computer systems are maintained. I know that operator’s manuals for computers give us this info (such as 10 - 35 degrees C, 20-80% rH (non condensing) ) but is there a Standard that must be followed as well? Or even an ISO requirement that there is testing (IQ, OQ, PQ) that at least meets the minimum environmental ranges as outlined in operator’s manuals?

Any help would be appreciated.

Wow… nothing at all…

I donno about your specific requirements but there are ASHRAE Standards which govern the HVAC (Heat Ventilation and Air Conditioning) for most places. You may want to search there. I know that there are ASHRAE standards for Clean Room Computer places and Medical Computer places.

So sorry, not much help there.

Thanks!

Looking into that… I don’t know why I didnt think about HVAC before…
