IT4 CORE
Only the primary connection provisions are present. The complete digital fit-out is the tenant's responsibility.
The connection point, and nothing else
IT4 CORE stands for 25 to 44 points. The building is connected: the connection reaches into the premises, but nothing is fitted out beyond that. There is no internal IT infrastructure and no Smart Building functionality.
That is not a shortcoming. It is a delivery level that suits tenants who want to determine their own digital environment, for example because they apply their own standards, have their own suppliers or bring their equipment from a previous premises.
Certification Standard

What does this mean for your investment?
Expect a complete IT fit-out at your own expense: cabling, patch and server room, network equipment, WiFi and security. The IT-Label makes this explicit in advance, so you can factor that investment into your decision-making and into the negotiation of the rental price.
A tenant may also choose to own a complete fit-out package. In that case, responsibility for those provisions lies with the tenant, not the landlord: the IT-Label assesses only the delivery level of the real estate.
What does this mean for the user?
Delivery level: connection points in place. IT fit-out is required. Who does what can differ per building and lease agreement and is recorded in the IT Demarcation List. Read more about responsibilities.

The IT-Label classifications
The IT-Label has six classifications. Each level describes a different digital delivery level and what that means for the user.
IT3 READY: IT delivery level
IT3 READY offers basic cabling and limited WiFi. Additional investment is desirable for professional use, but the building is prepared for it.
IT5 SHELL: IT delivery level
IT5 SHELL is a shell delivery without IT provisions. The complete digital fit-out is arranged by the tenant: transparent and factored in beforehand.
Why an IT-Label?
AI, network strain and Smart Buildings raise a new question: is a building digitally ready for how companies work today and tomorrow?
