Information technology — Automatic identification and data capture technology — AIDC application in industrial construction
This document specifies the identification, data, information services, application guidance aspects and applicable requirements of automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) technology for different items and their hierarchy in industrial construction during their whole life cycle. This document — provides unique identification for items in industrial construction, — specifies the semantics and data syntax to be used, — specifies the data carriers to be used on items of various categories, substitutes and sizes, — makes recommendations about the metadata of the items, — specifies the application test method and parameters based on the large-scale test and scientific sampling rules, — defines the information services protocol to be used as an interface between business applications and the AIDC system, and — makes guidance for designers, workers, engineers, managers, end users and maintainers about the AIDC application in their daily work.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical
Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are
members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical
committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity.
ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types
of document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/
IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives or www.iec.ch/members_experts/refdocs).

Introduction
Construction has a history that spans the entire human civilization. Traditional construction has lagged
behind due to the interrelated issues of the rising costs, lengthy duration, massive pollution and the shortage
of skilled construction labour. Industrial construction is a rapidly growing sector of construction, has the
potential to be an effective solution for addressing these issues. See Annex A for more details. In the industrial
construction business, mega structures including power plants, skyscrapers, warehouses, factories and
other larger-than-life projects are designed, manufactured, installed and maintained by the industrialized
methods. The methods include standardized design, factory production, assembly-style construction,
integrated decoration and digital management. Industrial construction is an off-site, manufacturing-style
construction method and system which covers all aspects of making a building, including
a) the process of making construction items such as prefabricated components, building parts, connectors
or accessories from raw materials in plants,
b) the assembly, storage and shipment to the building site,
c) the assembly to specifications and building inspections,
d) maintenance,
e) potential demolition,
f) material recovery, and
g) disposal.
Automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) technology is the main technology for item and
asset automatic identification and data capture since 1970s. In the past 50 years, AIDC and its global
standardization have stimulated the digital transformation and informational management in the retail,
healthcare and logistic industries globally.
The systematic study of AIDC technology application standards for industrialized construction will help to
cope with industry challenges and promote the digital transformation and upgrading of the industry.
