Organization and digitization of information about buildings and civil engineering works, including building information modelling (BIM) - Information management using building information modelling - Part 4: Information exchange (ISO 19650-4:2022)

ISO 19650 part 4 provides detailed process and criteria for the decision points in the process of executing an information exchange within information management as defined by ISO 19650. It promotes a sustainable approach to information exchange where the immediate delivery of information does not preclude its future use.    
It is applicable to any information exchange within project stages (ISO 19650 part 2) and within in-use events (ISO 19650 part 3).  All development and information exchanges should be executed under the appropriate security controls (ISO 19650 part 5).
It supports the satisfaction of a specific EIR/AIR related to an individual information exchange of any type of information by enumerating criteria relating to completeness, compliance to formal exchange schemas, the continuity of concepts between exchanges and the elimination of spatial and specification conflicts

Organisation und Digitalisierung von Informationen zu Bauwerken und Ingenieurleistungen, einschließlich Bauwerksinformationsmodellierung (BIM) - Informationsmanagement mit BIM - Teil 4: Informationsaustausch (ISO 19650-4:2022)

Dieses Dokument spezifiziert den detaillierten Prozess und die Kriterien für die Entscheidungsfindung bei der Durchführung eines Informationsaustausches nach der Normenreihe ISO 19650, um die Qualität des sich ergebenden Projekt- oder Asset-Informationsmodells sicherzustellen. Es beschreibt die Umsetzung der Konzepte in ISO 19650 1 und ist anwendbar auf jeden Informationsaustausch innerhalb der von ISO 19650 2 abgedeckten Phasen der Bereitstellung und der von ISO 19650 3 abgedeckten betrieblichen auslösenden Ereignisse.
Dieses Dokument ist auf Assets aller Größen und Komplexitätsstufen anwendbar. Dazu gehören Gebäudeportfolios, Campus, Infrastrukturnetzwerke, einzelne Gebäude und Teile der Infrastruktur. Die in diesem Dokument festgelegten Anforderungen sollten in einem angemessenen Verhältnis zur Größenordnung und Komplexität des Assets angewendet werden. In diesem Dokument wird die Formulierung „muss (Folgendes) in Betracht ziehen“ verwendet. Mit dieser Formulierung wird eine Liste von Punkten vorgestellt, über die für die betreffende Person im Zusammenhang mit der im betreffenden Unterabschnitt beschriebenen Primäranforderung sorgfältiges Nachdenken erforderlich ist. Der Umfang des Nachdenkens, die Zeit bis zur Fertigstellung und die Notwendigkeit von Nachvollziehbarkeit hängen von der Komplexität des Assets, der Erfahrung der beteiligten Person(en) und den Anforderungen einer nationalen Politik zur Einführung von Bauwerksinformationsmodellierung ab. Bei einem relativ kleinen oder unkomplizierten Asset kann es möglich sein, einige dieser „muss (Folgendes) in Betracht ziehen“-Punkte sehr schnell abzuschließen oder als nicht relevant zu verwerfen. Ein Weg, um herauszufinden, welche der „muss (Folgendes) in Betracht ziehen“-Aussagen relevant sind, kann die Überprüfung jeder einzelnen Aussage und die Erstellung von Vorlagen für Assets unterschiedlicher Größenordnung und Komplexität sein.

Organisation et numérisation des informations relatives aux bâtiments et ouvrages de génie civil, y compris modélisation des informations de la construction (BIM) - Gestion de l’information par la modélisation des informations de la construction - Partie 4: Échange d’informations (ISO 19650-4:2022)

Le présent document spécifie le processus détaillé ainsi que les critères de prise de décision lors de l’exécution d’un échange d’informations tel que spécifié par la série ISO 19650  de façon à garantir la qualité du modèle d’information de projet ou d’actif. Il détaille la mise en œuvre des concepts de l’ISO 19650-1 et s’applique à tout échange d’informations durant les étapes de production traitées dans l’ISO 19650-2 et les phases de déclenchement d’exploitation traitées dans l’ISO 19650-3.
Le présent document s’applique aux actifs de toutes tailles et de tous niveaux de complexité. Cela inclut les ensembles de bâtiments, les campus, les réseaux d’infrastructures, les immeubles individuels et les parties d’infrastructures. Il convient d’appliquer les exigences exposées dans le présent document de manière adaptée à l’échelle et à la complexité de l’actif. Le présent document utilise les termes «doit tenir compte». Cette phrase est utilisée pour introduire une liste d’éléments auxquels la personne en question doit réfléchir soigneusement en liaison avec l’exigence principale décrite dans le paragraphe. La somme de réflexion, le temps à y consacrer et le besoin de pièces justificatives dépendent de la complexité de l’actif, de l’expérience de la ou des personnes impliquées et des exigences d’une éventuelle politique nationale sur l’introduction de la modélisation des informations de la construction. Sur un actif relativement petit ou peu complexe, il est possible de compléter très rapidement certains de ces éléments «doit tenir compte», voire de les écarter comme non pertinents. Pour identifier plus facilement ceux des énoncés «doit tenir compte» qui sont pertinents, il est possible d’examiner chaque énoncé et de créer des modèles pour des actifs de différentes tailles et complexités.

ISO 19650-4:2022(E)
Introduction
ISO 19650-1 to ISO 19650-3 require the sharing of project and asset information as part of collaborative
and convergent processes. These provide the governance and strategy around the execution of
information management during both the delivery phase and operational phase of the whole life
cycle. ISO 19650-4 supplements ISO 19650-1 to ISO 19650-3 and ISO 19650-5 by providing the explicit
process and criteria for each individual information exchange. The intention is to secure the benefits
arising from collaborative and interoperable building information modelling (BIM) by choosing ‘open’
schemas, data formats and conventions whilst specifying when alternatives may be appropriate.
Information exchange occurs within the information production and consumption process at every level
between project teams and asset/facility management and operation teams (see ISO 19650-2:2018,
Figure 2 and ISO 19650-3:2020, Figure 3). It is critical that appropriate criteria are applied to ensure
the reliability of the information and the repeatability of the processes. The requirements around
information exchange (identified in this document) are distinct from any specific “exchange information
requirements (EIR)” as used in ISO 19650-1, ISO 19650-2 and ISO 19650-3.
The information exchange process is based on the choice of how information containers (see
ISO 19650-1:2018, 3.3.12) are specified to ensure that information can be managed.
In this context, an information container:
— is given a persistent identifier and other metadata;
— can be retrieved, using a common data environment (CDE) and appropriate status metadata;
— is made persistent, using revisioning and systematic archiving.
The use of appropriate quality assurance and quality control measures supports the fulfilment
of a specific exchange information requirement related to an individual information exchange by
enumerating criteria relating to completeness, compliance to formal exchange schemas, the continuity
of concepts between exchanges and the elimination of spatial and specification conflicts.
It promotes a proportional and sustainable approach to information exchange where the immediate
delivery of information does not limit its future use.
The concepts and principles relating to the application of the requirements within this document are
provided in ISO 19650-1, and in the information exchanges specified in ISO 19650-2 and ISO 19650-3.

EN 17412-1 describes a methodology for qualifying an exchange with criteria relating to relating to
level of information need.

Organization and digitization of information about

using building information modelling —
Part 4:
Information exchange
1 Scope
This document specifies the detailed process and criteria for decision makings when executing
an information exchange as specified by the ISO 19650 series to ensure the quality of the resulting
project information model or asset information model. It details the implementation of the concepts
in ISO 19650-1 and is applicable to any information exchange within the delivery stages covered by
ISO 19650-2 and operational trigger events covered by ISO 19650-3.
This document is applicable to assets of all sizes and all levels of complexity. This includes portfolios
of buildings, campuses, infrastructure networks, individual buildings and pieces of infrastructure.
The requirements in this document should be applied in a way that is appropriate to the scale and
complexity of the asset. This document makes use of the phrase “shall consider”. This phrase is used to
introduce a list of items that the person in question is required to think about carefully in connection
with the primary requirement described in the subclause. The amount of thought involved, the time
taken to complete it, and the need for supporting evidence depend on the complexity of the asset,
the experience of the person(s) involved, and the requirements of any national policy on introducing
building information modelling. On a relatively small or straightforward asset, it can be possible to
complete, or dismiss as not relevant, some of these “shall consider” items very quickly. One way to help
identify which of the “shall consider” statements are relevant can be to review each statement and
create templates for assets of different sizes and complexity.

Introduction
ISO 19650 parts 1-3 require the sharing of project and asset information as part of collaborative and
convergent processes. These provide the governance and strategy around the execution of both the
delivery phase and operational phase of information management. ISO 19650-4 complements parts 1-3
& 5 by providing the explicit process and criteria for an individual information exchange. The intention
is to secure the benefits arising from collaborative and interoperable Building Information Modelling
(BIM) and choosing ‘open’ schemas and data formats and conventions whilst defining when alternatives
may be appropriate.
Information exchanges occur within the information production and consumption process at every
level of project teams and asset/facility management and operation teams (see ISO 19650-2 Figure 2
and ISO 19650-3 Figure 3). It is critical that appropriate criteria are applied to ensure the reliability of
the information and the repeatability of the processes. The requirements around information exchange
(identified in this Standard) are distinct from any specific “exchange information requirements (EIR)”
as used in 19650-1, -2 and -3.
The information exchange process is based on the choice of how information containers (see ISO 19650-1
3.3.12) are defined to ensure that information can be managed.
In this context, an information container
— is given a persistent identifier and other metadata;
— can be retrieved, using a CDE and appropriate status metadata; and
— is made persistent, using revisioning with systematic archiving.
Applicability
This document is applicable to assets of all sizes and all levels of complexity. This includes portfolios of
buildings, campuses, infrastructure networks, individual buildings and pieces of infrastructure. The
requirements in this document should be applied in a way that is proportionate and appropriate to the
scale and complexity of the asset. This document makes use of the phrase “shall consider”. This phrase
is used to introduce a list of items that the person in question must think about carefully in connection
with the primary requirement described in the sub-clause. The amount of thought involved, the time
taken to complete it, and the need for supporting evidence will depend on the complexity of the asset,
the experience of the person(s) involved, and the requirements of any national policy on introducing
building information modelling. On a relatively small or straightforward asset, it can be possible to
complete, or dismiss as not relevant, some of these “shall consider” items very quickly. One way to help
identify which of the “shall consider” statements are relevant can be to review each statement and
create templates for assets of different sizes and complexity.
Relationship with other standards
The concepts and principles relating to the application of the requirements within this document are
provided in ISO 19650-1, and in the information exchanges defined in ISO 19650-2 and ISO19650-3. EN
[1]
17412-1 (see bibliography ) describes a methodology for qualifying an exchange with criteria relating
to completeness.

Part 4:
Information exchange
1 Scope
ISO 19650-4 provides the detailed process and criteria for the decision points when executing an
information exchange as defined by ISO 19650 so as to ensure the quality of the resulting project or
asset information model. It promotes a proportional and sustainable approach to information exchange
where the immediate delivery of information does not limit its future use. It details the implementation
of the concepts in ISO19650-1 and is applicable to any information exchange within the delivery stages
covered by ISO 19650-2 and operational events covered by ISO 19650-3. The use of appropriate quality
assurance and quality control measures supports the fulfilment of a specific Exchange Information
Requirement related to an individual information exchange by enumerating criteria relating to
completeness, compliance to formal exchange schemas, the continuity of concepts between exchanges
and the elimination of spatial and specification conflicts.
