TIA-942 Compliance Checklist
Assess your data center infrastructure against TIA-942-B standard requirements. Evaluate 56 items across 6 categories with tier-specific filtering and real-time weighted scoring.
About TIA-942
ANSI/TIA-942-B is the telecommunications infrastructure standard for data centers published by the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA). It defines requirements across six critical domains — site/architecture, electrical, mechanical/cooling, telecommunications, fire protection, and physical security — organized into four tier levels of increasing redundancy and fault tolerance. Tier 1 (Basic) provides a single path for power and cooling with no redundancy. Tier 2 (Redundant Components) adds N+1 redundancy. Tier 3 (Concurrently Maintainable) ensures any component can be serviced without IT interruption. Tier 4 (Fault Tolerant) provides 2N fully independent infrastructure paths, tolerating any single fault with zero impact. This tool assesses compliance using weighted scoring with category importance factors reflecting real-world criticality.
