01
Availability
CENELEC describes four availability levels for power, environmental-control, and telecommunications-cabling infrastructures.
02
Protection
The series uses protection classes for physical-security and environmental threats; the result is not a claim about application availability or every layer of business-service resilience.
03
Assessment boundary
Any public conformity or certification statement must identify the assessor, scope, edition, method, and authority. The series does not itself create one universal certification system.
