Performance and condition assessment for buildings and civil engineering works - Framework for assessment within physical asset management

This document specifies and gives guidance on the performance and condition assessment process of existing physical assets in the utilization stage (from commissioning to the end of life).
This document relates to assessment of physical assets within the building and civil engineering sector; however, it can also be used in other sectors where applicable.
This document specifies a generic framework for assessment, specification of requirements, the observation process and gathering of the required information in order to sustain informed asset management decision making.
This document is an umbrella standard and refers to other standards for detailed methods. It does not replace any other standard, but is an addition to provide a system for the assessment work.
NOTE 1   The references to other standards only relate to building and civil engineering works. There are no references for production machinery and equipment, offshore, electrical and mechanical assets, mobile assets and non-tangible assets.
NOTE 2   In this document the physical assets will be referred to as assets, except in the Clause Terms and definitions.

Introduction
There are various standards available about monitoring, inspection and assessment of physical assets.
All these standards have their own purpose and place in the field of assessment. This document for
performance and condition assessment is an umbrella standard for physical assets and refers to other
standards for detailed methods.
The scope of this document is buildings and civil engineering works. The intended audience for this
document is asset owners (small and large, public and private), asset managers, facility managers,
property managers, observers and consultants.
This document consists of two parts:
— The assessment process: The steps that are needed to perform an assessment;
— The observation process: The steps that are needed for acquiring and analysing the asset status data
to give recommendations as part of the assessment process.
In both cases, the purpose is to enhance the quality of the assessment and to provide information for the
asset owner/manager to support the decision making process.
The document assists asset and facility managers in selecting the appropriate technique and determining
the quality of the work that has been done.

existing physical assets in the utilization stage (from commissioning to the end of life).
This document relates to assessment of physical assets within the building and civil engineering sector;
however, it can also be used in other sectors where applicable.
This document describes a generic framework for assessment, specification of requirements, the
observation process and gathering of the required information in order to sustain informed asset
management decision making.
This document is an umbrella standard and refers to other standards for detailed methods. It does not
replace any other standard, but is an addition to provide a system for the assessment work.
NOTE 1 The references to other standards only relate to building and civil engineering works. There are no
references for production machinery and equipment, offshore, electrical and mechanical assets, mobile assets and
non-tangible assets.
NOTE 2 In this document the physical assets will be referred to as assets, except in the clause Terms and
definitions.
2 Normative references
There are no normative references in this document.
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
NOTE Several terms have multiple definitions in different standards, depending on the context. All definitions
in this document are fitted for performance and condition assessment.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:

4 Assessment – basic elements
4.1 Introduction to assessment
4.1.1 General
An assessment is a recurring evaluation of the condition and performance of assets, asset systems and
the asset portfolio to enhance life cycle delivery to the asset management objectives and requirements.
It also enables the asset/facility manager to determine the contribution of the single assets to the
performance of the asset systems and the asset portfolio. This information is used as input for the long-
term programming within physical asset management.
The assessment of assets can be used as input to the assessment of an asset system and/or the asset
portfolio. Similarly, an assessment of the asset portfolio can be used as input to the assessment of an asset
system and/or asset. This is shown in Figure 1. The same principle applies to the asset management
objectives and requirements; in a dynamic process, the requirements are used as input to the
assessments and the assessment results inform the requirements.

Figure 1 — Assessments
4.1.2 Asset portfolio
The asset portfolio consists of all the assets that are within the scope of the managing organization. The
asset portfolio can contain both single assets and asset systems.
Assessment within asset portfolio management delivers information for three main applications:
— effective asset portfolio decision making;
— risk and control process;
