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.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee
has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
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 ISO documents 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).

Introduction
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a process for digital representation of the building. It starts from
the very early stages of a project and covers all the phases of the building life cycle. The objective is to benefit
from the digitalization of the information to replace the paper drawings and documentation that have been
used in the building industry until now. This makes it possible for the same information to be available to all
the actors in real time.
The main concept to describe the maturity of a project is called "level of information need" (see ISO 7817-1).
The concept of level of information need is introduced in ISO 19650-1 and is used instead of the concept
of level of development (LOD). The level of information need addresses the geometrical information of
the object, the alphanumerical information and the documentation referred to it. Therefore, the level of
information need has been split in three: the geometrical information, the alphanumerical information and
documentation. In addition, the level of information need is based on pre-requisites: purpose, information
delivery milestone, actor and object.
In principle, geometrical information, the alphanumerical information and documentation will develop
simultaneously, but it can happen that there are big differences between the geometrical information, the
alphanumerical information and documentation. For example, an object may have a symbol description on
the geometrical information where all technical data and performance expected from the object can already
be included in the alphanumerical information in a dedicated database, while a technical specification might
be in a document. The fact that level of information need is split between geometrical information, the
alphanumerical information and documentation helps to address the different expectations at each moment
of the project, and this makes BIM even more efficient.
The information needed varies along the project, not always in a linear way: it might start very limited
and schematical at the very early phase, to highly detailed once the building is under construction, and
with less geometrical information during operation (with mainly the operating zones, without fabrication
representations).
The quantity and quality of information depends on when information is required and the purposes it
supports. At pre-design stage, the elements are usually not yet detailed, and the dimensions are not final.
Presented objects can be symbolic, or any other generical representation. Any information at pre-design
stage may further evolve while the project goes on. At schematic design stage, the objects have general
dimensions that allow to reserve space for a particular function in the building. At detailed design stage,
the representation will contain full geometrical dimensions of the objects, as well as alphanumerical
information associated to it.
The BIM approach reduces the risk of misunderstandings or gaps in the geometry, on the specifications or
whatever relevant information has been delivered.

Building Information Modelling
1 Scope
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.
