Overview of Data Centre & Server Room Corrosion Monitoring

Tested by: NABL-accredited partner lab
Regulation: ISA-71.04 & ASHRAE guidance
Typical turnaround: 30-day exposure + 7 days
Sampling: Coupons placed on site

Sulphur and nitrogen gases from traffic, industry and diesel generators, common around Indian cities and industrial zones, react with copper and silver on circuit boards. The result is creep corrosion and silver sulphide growth that cause intermittent faults and early hardware failure, and some manufacturers make warranty claims conditional on a clean environment.

ISA-71.04 classifies environments from G1 (mild) to GX (severe) by how fast corrosion films grow on copper and silver reactivity coupons exposed for about 30 days. ASHRAE’s data centre guidance asks for G1 conditions. The results show whether gas-phase filtration or better pressurisation is needed.

How we handle Data Centre & Server Room Corrosion Monitoring

1
Assessment of requirement
We confirm the standard, the list of tests and how many samples your product needs.
2
Sample collection
We collect the samples from your factory or warehouse, or tell you exactly where to send them.
3
Right lab assigned
We choose an accredited lab (NABL, BIS-recognised or ILAC) that covers your standard and can start soonest.
4
Testing
The lab tests your samples against the standard. We follow up and tell you at once if a test fails.
5
Test report
You receive the signed test report, ready to use for BIS, WPC, CE or your buyer.

What the lab tests

Parameter	Why it is checked
Copper reactivity	Corrosion film growth rate
Silver reactivity	Sensitive to sulphur gases
ISA-71.04 severity class	G1, G2, G3 or GX
Corrosive gases	H2S, SO2, NO2, chlorine on request
Temperature, humidity and dust	Contributing conditions

The final list depends on your product, its standard and the purpose of testing. We confirm it with you before the sample goes to the lab.

Frequently asked questions

Where should coupons be placed?

Inside the room near critical equipment, at the air inlet, and outdoors for comparison. We plan locations with your facility team and collect the coupons after the exposure period.

Which standard is the product tested against?

The Indian Standard, international standard or buyer specification that applies to your product and market. We confirm it with you before testing, and the report states the method used for each parameter.

Who carries out the testing?

Instacertify’s partner laboratories, accredited by NABL to ISO/IEC 17025 for the parameters on your report. We choose the lab, arrange the sample, follow up until the report is issued and explain the results to you.
