org.cispec.facility-class

recommended: any CI that is a facility or physical space with a formal classification

org.cispec.facility-class records the formal classification or tier of a facility Change Item — the standardised category that governs its design requirements, operational standards, and compliance obligations.

Applies to any CI that is a facility or managed physical space: data centres, server rooms, cleanrooms, laboratories, SCIFs, pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities, medical facilities, industrial plants, warehouses, and any other physical space tracked as a CI with a formal tier or class designation.

Classification frameworks vary by facility type:

Facility type	Framework	Classes/Tiers
Data centre	Uptime Institute	Tier I / II / III / IV
Data centre	EN 50600	Class 1–4
Cleanroom	ISO 14644-1	ISO Class 1–9
Pharmaceutical	EU GMP	Grade A/B/C/D
SCIF	ICD 705	Accredited / Provisional
Biological lab	CDC/NIH	BSL-1/2/3/4
Explosive storage	ATF	Type 1–6 magazine

Conformance

org.cispec.facility-class is RECOMMENDED for any CI that is a facility with a formal tier or class designation. Not REQUIRED for Declared conformance.

Attestation

facility-class is independently attestable against the certifying body’s records — Uptime Institute tier certifications are publicly listed; ISO cleanroom classifications are verifiable against third- party audit reports; SCIF accreditations are verifiable through the appropriate government authority.

Resolution and relation

facility-class paired with capacity gives the operational profile of a facility CI. Paired with classification and boundary it gives the full compliance picture for regulated facilities.
