This document defines minimum specific elements required for BIM process with new lifts. It does not define the BIM process itself. This document specifies a minimum set of information for lifts following the structure of ISO 7817-1, for the purpose of building planning during pre-design stage, schematic design stage and detailed design stage of a building. It covers the geometrical information and the alphanumerical information. NOTE The BIM processes are defined in ISO/TC 59/SC 13 standards. This document does not cover requirements during other stages (information delivery milestones) and the documentation. This document does not cover definition of actors, which are project specific. The definitions are for a single lift. This document does not describe the structures required for multiple lifts in the same building. This document describes the information of a lift and its interfaces to the building which are relevant for the planning of the building. The structural forces are out of the scope of this document. This document is not applicable to lifts, which are installed before the date of its publication.
