CCI-000972

The organization defines acceptable temperature and humidity levels to be maintained within the facility where the information system resides.

Implementation Guidance

DoD has defined the acceptable levels as for commercial grade information systems: 64.4 – 80.6 degrees F; 45% – 60% Relative Humidity; Dew Point 41.9 ° – 59°F; measured at the air intake inlet of the IT equipment casing; for other systems, levels within manufacturer specifications.

Validation Procedures

The organization being inspected/assessed is automatically compliant with this CCI because they are covered at the DoD level. DoD has defined the acceptable levels as for commercial grade information systems: 64.4 – 80.6 degrees F; 45% – 60% Relative Humidity; Dew Point 41.9 ° – 59°F; measured at the air intake inlet of the IT equipment casing; for other systems, levels within manufacturer specifications.
