VALIDATION - The action of checking or proving the validity or accuracy of something.

Today, many organisations involved in improving data centre standards & adopting operational best practice are doing so as a direct result of work the DCA has been involved in over the past nine years.

This work is not glamorous, its extremely time consuming and often painful but it can also be extremely rewarding and essential in helping the sector to regulate itself.

Compliance, certification, auditing, standards, technical guidelines and best practice documentation all exist to ensure we are all “DOING WHAT IT SAYS ON THE TIN” with one main purpose – to build consumer confidence both in what we are selling and what they are buying.

The DCA does this work on behalf of all its members so they can remain focused on building their own businesses.
