What EPI Certification does

EPI Certification Pte Ltd is a Singapore-headquartered accredited certification body operating in the ICT and data centre sectors. The company issues third-party conformity assessments against more than 15 international and Singapore standards, spanning data centre design and facilities (ANSI/TIA-942, EN 50600, ISO/IEC 22237), business continuity (ISO 22301), environmental management (ISO 14001), quality and IT service management (ISO 9001, ISO 20000), information security and privacy (ISO 27001, ISO 27701, SS 584 MTCS), occupational health and safety (ISO 45001), air quality (ISO 14644), and personal data protection (SS714 DPTM, APEC CBPR, APEC PRP). EPI holds accreditation from the Singapore Accreditation Council across multiple management system scopes, alongside TIA, IMDA, EXIN, and Certac accreditations that grant legal authority to issue internationally recognized certificates.

The company's core technology is the proprietary DCOS (Data Centre Operations Standard) — an 11-discipline operations standard covering service level management, facilities management, monitoring/reporting/control, security management, governance risk and compliance, safety management, and environmental sustainability, paired with a 5-level maturity assessment. EPI also operates a custom audit tool that reduces duplication, increases data accuracy, eliminates ambiguity in audit reports, and generates verifiable DCOS audit reports. All audits follow the ISO 19011 methodology and ISO/IEC 17021-1 process flow for certification bodies, executed by auditors holding DCOS-aligned certifications (CDFOS, CDFOM) plus ISO Lead Auditor credentials.

EPI generates revenue through three streams: recurring certification fees (application, initial certification, continuing certification, and renewal under multi-year contracts), training services (CTDC, CTIA, and CTLA courses accredited by EXIN), and professional services consulting (gap analysis, risk management audits using the ISO 31000 framework, and second party audits). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with enterprise clients engaging via direct sales contact. The company maintains fully manned offices in 11 global locations covering each continent, delivering direct sales and technical support in local languages. Customers primarily include enterprise data centre operators, multi-tenant/colocation/cloud service providers, and any organization seeking standards certification across quality, information security, environment, health, and safety management systems.
