The state-of-the-art facilities received certifications for Quality, Environmental Management, Energy Management and Information Security, and the highest rating in the National Security Scheme (ENS)
MADRID, SPAIN/NEW YORK, USA (September 18, 2025) – Edged, a leader in ultra-efficient and sustainable AI digital infrastructure, and MERLIN Properties, a leading real estate and infrastructure company in Spain and Portugal, received five AENOR certifications for their MERLIN Edged data centers located in Barcelona, Madrid-Getafe and Bilbao-Arasur. The event was attended by Rafael García Meiro, CEO of AENOR, together with MERLIN Edged leadership, who highlighted the importance of these accreditations in strengthening Spain's critical digital infrastructure.
MERLIN Edged has obtained the National Security Scheme (ENS) certifications at the High level, along with ISO 9001 (Quality Management), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management), ISO 50001 (Energy Management) and ISO 27001 (Information Security). These recognitions reflect the company's commitment to long-term operational excellence, sustainability, energy efficiency and information security. They also demonstrate compliance with the highest regulatory standards.
MERLIN Edged data centers are positioned at the forefront of sustainability, with leading energy efficiency (PUE 1.15), waterless cooling (WUE 0.0) and the use of 100% renewable energy, making them carbon-neutral facilities.
ENS High-Level certification allows MERLIN Edged to be a trusted supplier to public bodies and defense-related entities. It also signifies meeting the most demanding requirements of the Spanish Government for applications of AI in strategic contexts.
ISO 27001 endorses organizations that apply advanced practices in information security management. The certification recognizes their strength and effectiveness in protecting sensitive data and securely managing their information systems.
In addition, ISO 50001 helps organizations implement an efficient energy policy and actively manage and optimize all facets of their energy use resulting from their operations—which translates into quantifiable energy cost savings.
ISO 14001 certification demonstrates sound environmental management and confirms that a management system has been implemented at its facilities to help reduce environmental impacts and support continuous improvement.
Finally, ISO 9001 is a key international standard for recognizing quality and demonstrates the ability to meet the needs of customers, in this case, technology companies linked to Artificial Intelligence.
Rafael García Meiro emphasized that "MERLIN Edged's achievement of the National Security Scheme (ENS) and ISO 27001 certifications from AENOR sends a message of confidence to all its stakeholders regarding its close commitment to cybersecurity and data processing. These are complemented by ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 50001 certifications, which demonstrate a firm commitment to establishing best practices in other key areas such as quality, sustainability and energy efficiency."
