Organizacija in digitalizacija informacij v gradbeništvu - Upravljanje informacij z BIM - 1. del: Pojmi in načela (ISO 19650-1:2018)

Ta dokument je prvi del mednarodnega standarda za upravljanje informacij z BIM – ISO 19650. Določa pojme in načela za uspešno upravljanje informacij na ravni zrelosti, opisano kot »BIM v skladu s standardom ISO 19650«. Ta standard se uporablja za celoten življenjski cikel zgrajenega sredstva, vključno z začetnim projektiranjem in gradnjo, vsakodnevnim delovanjem, vzdrževanjem, obnovo, popravilom in koncem življenjskega cikla. Pojmi in načela, ki jih vsebuje ta del standarda, so namenjeni vsem vpletenim v življenjski cikel sredstva. To med drugim vključuje lastnika, upravljavca, vodjo sredstev, skupino za projektiranje, dobavno verigo pri gradnji, proizvajalce opreme, strokovnjake za sisteme, oblikovalce politik in regulatorje. Pojmi, načela in zahteve iz vseh delov tega standarda so lahko bolj podrobno pojasnjeni v nacionalnem predgovoru, ki ga pripravi vsak nacionalni organ za standarde. Ta mednarodni standard naj se razvija vzporedno s CEN.

Introduction
This document sets out the recommended concepts and principles for business processes across the
built environment sector in support of the management and production of information during the
life cycle of built assets (referred to as “information management”) when using building information
modelling (BIM). These processes can deliver beneficial business outcomes to asset owners/operators,
clients, their supply chains and those involved in project funding including increase of opportunity,
reduction of risk and reduction of cost through the production and use of asset and project information
models. In this document, the verbal form “should” is used to indicate a recommendation.
This document is primarily intended for use by:
— those involved in the procurement, design, construction and/or commissioning of built assets; and
— those involved in delivering asset management activities, including operations and maintenance.
This document is applicable to built assets and construction projects of all sizes and all levels of
complexity. This includes large estates, infrastructure networks, individual buildings and pieces
of infrastructure and the projects or sets of projects that deliver them. However, the concepts and
principles included in this document should be applied in a way that is proportionate and appropriate to
the scale and complexity of the asset or project. This is particularly the case where small and medium-
sized enterprises are mainly appointed for asset management or project delivery. It is also important
that procurement and mobilization of asset or project appointed parties should be integrated as far as
possible with existing processes for technical procurement and mobilization.
The concepts and principles contained in this document are aimed at all those involved in the asset life
cycle. This includes, but is not limited to, the asset owner/operator, the client, the asset manager, the
design team, the construction team, an equipment manufacturer, a technical specialist, a regulatory
authority, an investor, an insurer and an end-user.
The specific requirements for information management during the delivery of built assets are provided
in ISO 19650-2. These are based on the concepts and principles within this document, but on its own
this document includes no obligation to apply ISO 19650-2 or any other part of the ISO 19650 series to
be published.
There are many different ways that asset owners/operators or clients can best meet their particular
requirements or respond to their national contexts. This includes procurement routes and appointment
arrangements. The concepts and principles for information management described in this document
should be adopted and applied in accordance with the specific circumstances and requirements of the
asset management or project delivery activities. The information requirements should specify or guide
how this will be achieved and the details should be agreed in time for the requirements to be delivered
efficiently and effectively.
Collaboration between the participants involved in construction projects and in asset management
is pivotal to the efficient delivery and operation of assets. Organizations are increasingly working
in new collaborative environments to achieve higher levels of quality and greater re-use of existing
knowledge and experience. A significant outcome of these collaborative environments is the potential
to communicate, re-use and share information efficiently, and to reduce the risk of loss, contradiction
or misinterpretation.
True collaborative working requires mutual understanding and trust and a deeper level of standardized
process than has typically been experienced, if the information is to be produced and made available
in a consistent timely manner. Information requirements need to pass along supply chains to the point
where information can be most efficiently produced, and information needs to be collated as it is passed
back. At present, considerable resources are spent on making corrections to unstructured information
or incorrect management of information by untrained personnel, on solving problems arising from
uncoordinated efforts of delivery teams, and on solving problems related to information reuse and
reproduction. These delays can be reduced if the concepts and principles within this document are
adopted.

ISO 19650-1:2018(E)

To improve future editions of the ISO 19650 series, national asset owners, public clients and authorities
are recommended to gather information and experiences about its implementation and use.
The ISO 19650 series can benefit from a formal process for managing assets, for example as in the
ISO 55000 series. The ISO 19650 series can also benefit from a systematic approach to quality within an
organization, for example as in ISO 9001, although certification to ISO 9001 is not a requirement of the
ISO 19650 series. Other standards that relate to information structures and delivery methods are also
listed in the Bibliography.

Introduction
This International Standard sets out the concepts and principles for the business processes across the
built environment sector in support of management and production of information during the life cycle
of built assets, referred to as “information management” in the text, when using building information
modelling (BIM). These processes can deliver beneficial business outcomes to asset owners/operators,
project clients, their supply chains, and those involved in project funding including reduction of risk
and reduction of cost through the creation and use of asset and project information models.
This International Standard is primarily intended for use by:
— those involved in the procurement, design, construction and/or commissioning of built assets; and
— those involved in delivering asset management activities, including operations and maintenance.
This International Standard is applicable to built assets and construction projects of all sizes and all
levels of complexity. This includes large estates, infrastructure networks, individual buildings and
pieces of infrastructure, and the projects or programmes that deliver them. The concepts and principles
included in this part of the standard should be applied in a way that is proportionate and appropriate to
the scale and complexity of the asset or project. In particular, procurement and mobilization of asset or
project appointed parties should be integrated as far as possible with existing processes for technical
procurement and mobilization.
The specific requirements for information management during the delivery of built assets, based on the
concepts and principles within this document, are provided in Part 2 of this International Standard.
Collaboration between the participants involved in construction projects and in asset management is
pivotal to the efficient delivery and operation of facilities. Organizations are increasingly working in new
collaborative environments in order to achieve higher standards of quality and greater re-use of existing
knowledge and experience. A major constituent of these collaborative environments is the ability to
communicate, re-use and share data efficiently without loss, contradiction or misinterpretation.
True collaborative working requires mutual understanding and trust within the team and a deeper
level of standardized process than has typically been experienced, if the information is to be produced
and made available in a consistent timely manner. Information requirements have to pass along
supply chains to the point where information can be most efficiently produced, and information has
to be collated as it is passed back. At present, each year considerable resources are spent on making
corrections to unstructured data, training new personnel in approved data creation techniques,
coordinating the efforts of supply chain teams and solving problems related to data reproduction.
This is considered waste and can be reduced if the concepts and principles within this International
Standard are adopted.
ISO 19650 builds on the formal process for managing assets by systematically asset management
policies, strategies and plans, as identified in the ISO 55000- series of standards. ISO 19650 also relies
on the systematic approach to quality within an organization that is defined in ISO 9001, although
certification to ISO 9001 is not a requirement of ISO 19650. Other standards that relate to information
structures and delivery methods are listed in the Bibliography.

DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/DIS 19650-1:2017(E)
Organization of information about construction works —
Information management using building information
modelling —
Part 1:
Concepts and principles
1 Scope
This document is one part of an International Standard for information management using building
information modelling (BIM). It sets out the concepts and principles for successful information
management at a stage of maturity described as “BIM according to ISO 19650”.
This International Standard provides recommendations for a framework to manage information
including exchanging, recording, versioning and organizing for all actors addressing every working
environment.
This standard applies to the whole life cycle of a built asset, including strategic planning, initial design
and construction, day-to-day operation, maintenance, refurbishment, repair and end-of-life.
The concepts and principles contained in this part of the standard are aimed at all those involved in
the asset life cycle. This includes, but is not limited to, the asset owner/operator, the project client, the
asset manager, the design team, the construction supply chain, an equipment manufacturer, a system
specialist, a regulator and an end-user.
There are many different procurement routes and appointment arrangements for asset
owners/operators or project clients to choose from to best meet their specific requirements. Although
the roles, procedures, processes, activities or tasks described in all other parts of this standard
might vary, the concepts and principles described in this document should be adopted and applied
in accordance with the specific circumstances and requirements of the asset management or project
delivery activities. The information requirements should specify or guide how this will be achieved and
the details should be agreed in time for the requirements to be delivered efficiently and effectively.

Introduction
This document sets out the recommended concepts and principles for business processes across the
built environment sector in support of the management and production of information during the life
cycle of built assets (referred to as “information management”) when using building information
modelling (BIM). These processes can deliver beneficial business outcomes to asset owners/operators,
clients, their supply chains, and those involved in project funding including increase of opportunity,
reduction of risk and reduction of cost through the production and use of asset and project information
models. In line with ISO drafting standards, the auxiliary verb in a recommendation is “should”.
This document is primarily intended for use by:
— those involved in the procurement, design, construction and/or commissioning of built assets; and
— those involved in delivering asset management activities, including operations and maintenance.
This document is applicable to built assets and construction projects of all sizes and all levels of
complexity. This includes large estates, infrastructure networks, individual buildings and pieces of
infrastructure, and the projects or programmes that deliver them. However, the concepts and principles
included in this document should be applied in a way that is proportionate and appropriate to the scale
and complexity of the asset or project. This is particularly the case where small and medium-sized
enterprises are mainly appointed for asset management or project delivery. It is also important that
procurement and mobilization of asset or project appointed parties should be integrated as far as
possible with existing processes for technical procurement and mobilization.
The specific requirements for information management during the delivery of built assets are provided
in ISO 19650-2. These are based on the concepts and principles within this document but on its own
this document includes no obligation to apply ISO 19650-2. Further Parts of ISO 19650 might be
published subsequently.
The concepts and principles contained in this document are aimed at all those involved in the asset life
cycle. This includes, but is not limited to, the asset owner/operator, the client, the asset manager, the
design team, the construction team, an equipment manufacturer, a system specialist, a regulator, an
investor, an insurer and an end-user.
There are many different ways that asset owners/operators or clients can best meet their particular
requirements or respond to their national contexts. This includes procurement routes and appointment
arrangements. The concepts and principles for information management described in this document
should be adopted and applied in accordance with the specific circumstances and requirements of the
asset management or project delivery activities. The information requirements should specify or guide
how this will be achieved and the details should be agreed in time for the requirements to be delivered
efficiently and effectively.
Collaboration between the participants involved in construction projects and in asset management is
pivotal to the efficient delivery and operation of assets. Organizations are increasingly working in new
collaborative environments in order to achieve higher levels of quality and greater re-use of existing
knowledge and experience. A significant outcome of these collaborative environments is the potential to
communicate, re-use and share information efficiently, and reducing the risk of loss, contradiction or
misinterpretation.
True collaborative working requires mutual understanding and trust and a deeper level of standardized
process than has typically been experienced, if the information is to be produced and made available in
a consistent timely manner. Information requirements have to pass along supply chains to the point
where information can be most efficiently produced, and information has to be collated as it is passed
back. At present, each year considerable resources are spent on making corrections to unstructured
information or incorrect management of information by untrained personnel, on solving problems

arising from uncoordinated efforts of delivery teams, and on solving problems related to information
reuse and reproduction. This is considered waste and can be reduced if the concepts and principles
within this document are adopted.
In order to improve future editions of the ISO 19650 series, national asset owners, public clients and
authorities are recommended to gather information and experiences about its implementation and use.
The ISO 19650 series can benefit from a formal process for managing assets, for example the ISO 55000
series. ISO 19650 can also benefit from a systematic approach to quality within an organization, for
example as in ISO 9001, although certification to ISO 9001 is not a requirement of ISO 19650. Other
standards that relate to information structures and delivery methods are also listed in the Bibliography.
In addition, there are several standards required for the successful implementation of this document
that relate to specific regions and countries and that are not suitable for inclusion within an
international standard. National standards bodies are encouraged to compile and document the
standards relevant to the region or country they represent within a national annex.

refurbishment, repair and end-of-life.
However, regarding the large scale of types of assets and sizes of organizations to which this document
is applicable, the recommendations of this standard should not hamper flexibility and versatility that
characterize the large range of potential procurement strategies. Therefore, the concepts and principles
explained in this document should be adapted to the scale and complexity of the asset or project, in
order to address the cost of implementing this standard.

4 Asset and project information, perspectives and collaborative working
4.1 Principles
Asset and project information models are the structured repositories of information needed for making
decisions during the whole life cycle of a built environment asset. This includes the design and
construction of new assets, refurbishment of existing assets, and the operation and maintenance of an
asset. It should be expected that the amount of information stored in information models, and the
different purposes it will be used for, will mostly increase during project delivery and asset
management.
Asset and project information models can include structured and unstructured information. Examples
of structured information include graphical models, schedules and databases. Examples of unstructured
information include documentation, video clips and sound recordings. Non-digitized data, such as soil
samples and other physical sources of information, should be managed using the information
management process through appropriate cross-references, for example, sample numbers.
Most projects involve work on some kind of existing asset, even if this is a previously undeveloped site.
These projects should include some pre-existing asset information, to support the development of the
project brief and be available for lead appointed parties working on the project.
Information management processes within this document include the transfer of relevant information
between an asset information model and a project information model at the start and end of a project.
Asset and project information has substantial value to appointing, lead appointed and appointed parties
involved in asset management and project delivery. This includes where no formal appointments exist.
Appointing, lead appointed and appointed parties include the owners, operators and managers of built

assets, and those delivering design and construction projects. Asset and project information is also
valuable to policymakers, regulators, investors, insurers and other external parties.
The concepts and principles contained within this standard should be applied in a way that is
proportionate and appropriate to the scale and complexity of the asset or project.
4.2 Relationship between information management and collaborative working
The recommendations and requirements for information management in the ISO 19650 standard are
based on appointing, lead appointed and appointed parties working collaboratively together, and all
parties should participate in the implementation of ISO 19650.
Information management can be represented as a sequence of maturity stages, shown as Stages 1, 2 and
3 in Figure 1. This Figure shows that development of standards, advances in technology and more
sophisticated forms of information management all combine to deliver increasing business benefit.
ISO 19650 has application mainly at Stage 2 maturity, but also can be partly applied at Stages 1 and 3.
Stage 2 maturity is also identified as “BIM according to ISO 19650”. This is where a mixture of manual
and automated information management processes are used to generate a federated information
model. The information model includes all information containers delivered by task teams in relation to
an asset or project.

Figure 1 — Stages of maturity of analogue and digital information management
4.3 Information management perspectives
Different information management perspectives should be recognized by the information management
process and should be incorporated in the process in the following ways:
— In the specification of information requirements;
— In the planning for information delivery; and

— In the delivery of information.
Information management perspectives should be defined on a case-by-case basis, but the four
perspectives described in Table 1 are recommended. Other perspectives might also be helpful,
depending on the nature of the asset or project.

5 Definition of information requirements and resulting information models
5.1 Principles
The appointing party should understand what information is required concerning their asset(s) or
project(s) in order to support their organizational or project objectives. These requirements might
come from within their own organization or might come from interested external parties. The
appointing party should be able to express these requirements to other organizations and individuals
that have to know them to either specify or inform their work. This applies to assets and projects of all
sizes, but the principles in this document should be applied proportionately. Less experienced
appointing parties can seek expert assistance to help with these tasks.
Appointed parties, including lead appointed parties, might add their own information requirements to
those they receive. Some of the information requirements might be passed to their own appointed
parties, particularly where information exchange within a delivery team is necessary and this
information might not be exchanged with the appointing party.
The appointing party should state their purposes for requiring information deliverables, including the
aspects of the asset that are intended to be managed. These purposes might include:
— Asset register: A register of assets should be provided to support accurate auditing and reporting.
This should include both spatial and physical assets and their groupings;
