In December, we’re publishing criteria for data centers. Until November 12, the drafts are open for stakeholder comment.
To help tackle the growing sustainability issues with data centers, TCO Certified will be expanded to include network equipment, data storage products and servers. These three new product categories will be added to the most recent generation of TCO Certified — generation 8.
In September, the criteria drafts for these three product categories were published. For another few days, you can contribute with your comments.
