Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) za izmenjavo podatkov na področju gradbeništva in upravljanja objektov - 1. del: Shema podatkov (ISO 16739-1:2024)

Predlagana revizija standarda ISO 16739-1:2018 se osredotoča na dodatke k shemi podatkov in referenčne podatke za nadaljnjo podporo infrastrukturnih področij, zlasti mostov, cest, železnic, pristanišč in vodnih poti ter skupnih osnov, kot so trasa, površje, plasti in zemeljska dela.  
Področje uporabe predlagane revizije je v skladu z navedbo skupnega področja uporabe standarda ISO 16739-1:2018 v zvezi s tem, da se »vključijo tudi definicije podatkov za infrastruktura sredstva v njihovem življenjskem ciklu«. Splošno področje uporabe in status standarda ISO 16739 kot mednarodnega standarda za »izmenjavo podatkov na področju gradbeništva in upravljanja objektov« ostajata v veljavi.

Overview

EN ISO 16739-1:2024 - Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) for data sharing in the construction and facility management industries - Part 1: Data schema - is a critical international standard published by CEN. This standard defines an open, neutral data schema for the interoperable exchange and sharing of Building Information Modeling (BIM) data across the construction and facility management sectors. Covering both buildings and infrastructure, EN ISO 16739-1:2024 supports the digital transformation of the entire asset lifecycle, facilitating effective data exchange between diverse software solutions used by architects, engineers, contractors, and facility managers.

With this 2024 edition, scope has been extended to include infrastructure works such as bridges, roads, railways, waterways, and port facilities, making it highly relevant for a broader range of civil engineering and infrastructure projects.

Key Topics

• Open BIM Data Schema: Provides a standardized foundation for storing and exchanging BIM data, ensuring consistency and interoperability in software applications.
• Comprehensive Lifecycle Coverage: Encompasses requirements from early concept and feasibility phases through design, construction, operation, and maintenance of both buildings and infrastructure.
• Property and Quantity Set Definitions: Defines properties, quantities, and relationships required for describing projects, processes, resources, and actors.
• Exchange File Format Structure: Establishes mechanisms for reliable and repeatable data exchange.
• Model View Definitions (MVDs): Allows the definition of specific subsets of the schema for various information delivery requirements, supporting tailored software implementation and certification.
• Support for Infrastructure Disciplines: Addresses extended needs for infrastructure projects involving civil engineering, structures, utilities, sustainability, and facility management.

Applications

EN ISO 16739-1:2024 is essential for organizations aiming to improve information sharing, data consistency, and collaboration throughout the architecture, engineering, construction, and operations (AECO) industries. Practical applications include:

• Digital Design Coordination: Streamlines multidisciplinary collaboration between architects, structural engineers, MEP engineers, and project managers.
• Project Information Management: Standardizes the way information is delivered to clients, contractors, and regulatory authorities at different project phases.
• Facility and Asset Management: Enables seamless transition from construction data to operations, supporting long-term maintenance and asset optimization.
• Regulatory Compliance: Facilitates submission of standardized BIM data to authorities for permits, approvals, and environmental documentation.
• Infrastructure Project Support: Extends established BIM workflows to infrastructure projects, including bridges, roads, waterways, ports, and railways.
• Software Interoperability: Ensures data compatibility between various BIM and facility management platforms, enhancing efficiency and reducing manual rework.

Related Standards

• ISO 29481: Describes information deliveries and processes within BIM projects, complementing the definitions in EN ISO 16739-1.
• ISO/TC 59 Series: Includes standards related to buildings and civil engineering works.
• CEN/TC 442 Standards: Covers additional BIM standards, guidelines, and implementation documents.
• Superseded Standard: Updates and replaces EN ISO 16739-1:2020, with expanded scope for infrastructure and improved data definitions.

Organizations in construction, civil engineering, and facility management seeking to optimize BIM data exchange and ensure future-proof digital project delivery will find EN ISO 16739-1:2024 indispensable. The standard fosters a collaborative, interoperable environment for industry stakeholders, driving efficiency and quality throughout the asset lifecycle.
