CCI-000972

Defines acceptable temperature, humidity, pressure, radiation, and/or organization-defined environmental control levels to be maintained within the facility where the 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.
