Fire safety for data centres in the Netherlands

Data centres demand a fundamentally different fire-safety approach: extremely low tolerance for downtime, dense airflows that undermine conventional smoke detection, and strict integration requirements with BMS, EPO procedures and cooling. ANiX works with manufacturers built for this and engineers per NPR 5310.

Sector-specific considerations

• 01Conventional point detectors fail in cold aisles due to high air velocity
• 02False alarm means unplanned shutdown — immediate revenue loss
• 03Uncontained fire means permanent loss of customer trust
• 04Strict SLAs with colocation customers — no room for escalation
