Guidance on how to implement EN ISO 19650-series in Europe, in particular parts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

The scope of this document is primarily focused on EN ISO 19650-1, EN ISO 19650-2, EN ISO 19650-3, EN ISO 19650-4 and EN ISO 19650-5. In the text these are referred to collectively as "the EN ISO 19650 series". This document highlights and describes the way to use the standards, without extending or contradicting the scope and content. This document aims to provide supporting text to achieve a basic understanding and ability to implement the EN ISO 19650 series. In each country, each client and each delivery team can use this document to provide the best response to information management in each project or asset management activity.
This document explains the terms and definitions, concepts and principles and how to use them, and gives practical examples with clear explanations.
It should be noted that in this document, information management is considered as a part of project management, asset management and security management.
This document is intended to demonstrate how the EN ISO 19650 series works at the European level in a neutral way that is applicable to any project or asset regardless of:
-   the nature of contracts, e.g. public, private, alliances, global, partnership;
-   the actors' functions, e.g. through the programming, design, construction phases, regardless of organization size including SMEs;
-   the diversity of tendering processes and commissioning practices, e.g. one main contractor (lead appointed party) on one client (as appointing party) vs. one client and multiple contracts with individual appointed parties;
-   the types of works, e.g. new, refurbished, housing, infrastructure;
-   the complexity of the project, asset, or activities.

European foreword
This document (CEN/TS 18113:2024) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 442 “Building
Information Modelling (BIM)”, the secretariat of which is held by SN.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document is intended to be a supporting document of the EN ISO 19650 series of standards in the form of
a CEN implementation guidance. The aim is to create a common understanding of digital collaboration
according to the EN ISO 19650 series of standards within the industry across Europe by fulfilling the following
objectives:
— providing a framework appropriate and adaptable across Europe for implementation;
— delivering interpretation of the EN ISO 19650 series of standards for common and consistent
understanding across Europe.
Any feedback and questions on this document should be directed to the users’ national standards body. A
complete listing of these bodies can be found on the CEN website.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the following
countries are bound to announce this Technical Specification: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech
Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia,
Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Republic of North Macedonia, Romania,
Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Türkiye and the United Kingdom.
Introduction
This document is used as a supporting document to the original EN ISO 19650 series of standards. However, it
has been prepared so that it can be read also as a standalone document to understand the principles of
EN ISO 19650 series. It does not seek to duplicate, contradict, or extend the meaning of EN ISO 19650-1,
EN ISO 19650-2, EN ISO 19650-3, EN ISO 19650-4 and EN ISO 19650-5.
This document helps to describe the journey to a robust digital collaboration based on the EN ISO 19650 series
of standards, which are targeted at the whole built environment, infrastructure as well as buildings. It describes
the key parts of the journey to establish a common understanding of digital collaboration. The description of
how to achieve this is described in the EN ISO 19650 series of standards.
The EN ISO 19650 series of standards introduces new concepts and, defines new terms and items to consider,
to promote the implementation of the information management process for assets and projects during the
whole life cycle, including projects resulting in new or refurbished assets.
The principle of EN ISO 19650 series of standards is a pragmatic approach to allow all involved parties to
collaborate on information management using building information modelling for projects and assets as
efficiently as possible, as well as with high quality.
Applicability to projects and assets of all sizes and complexity:
EN ISO 19650 series applies to all projects and assets regardless of their size or complexity.
EN ISO 19650-2 and EN ISO 19650-3 make wide use of the phrase “shall consider”, and it is also used in
EN ISO 19650-4 and EN ISO 19650-5. This phrase is used to introduce a list of items to consider in connection
with the primary requirement described in a 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 project or asset
management activity, the experience of the person(s) involved, and the requirements of any national policy on
introducing building information modelling (BIM). On a relatively small or straightforward project or asset
management activity, it might 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, might be to review each
statement and create templates for projects or asset management activities of different sizes and complexity.
The first section (Clause 5) of this document provides a summary view of each part within the EN ISO 19650
series. The second section (Clauses 6, 7, 8, 9) delivers description of what the key elements of the EN ISO 19650
series standards are. The third section (Clause 10) explains the EN ISO 19650-2 to −5 processes, and Clause 11
gives some use cases of implementation in the European market.

1 Scope
The scope of this document is primarily focused on EN ISO 19650-1, EN ISO 19650-2, EN ISO 19650-3,
EN ISO 19650-4 and EN ISO 19650-5. In the text these are referred to collectively as “the EN ISO 19650 series”.
This document highlights and describes the way to use the standards, without extending or contradicting the
scope and content. This document aims to provide supporting text to achieve a basic understanding and ability
to implement the EN ISO 19650 series. In each country, each client and each delivery team can use this
document to provide the best response to information management in each project or asset management
activity.
This document explains the terms and definitions, concepts and principles and how to use them, and gives
practical examples with clear explanations.
It should be noted that in this document, information management is considered as a part of project
management, asset management and security management.
This document is intended to demonstrate how the EN ISO 19650 series works at the European level in a
neutral way that is applicable to any project or asset regardless of:
— the nature of contracts, e.g. public, private, alliances, global, partnership;
— the actors' functions, e.g. through the programming, design, construction phases, regardless of organization
size including SMEs;
— the diversity of tendering processes and commissioning practices, e.g. one main contractor (lead appointed
party) on one client (as appointing party) vs. one client and multiple contracts with individual appointed
parties;
— the types of works, e.g. new, refurbished, housing, infrastructure;
— the complexity of the project, asset, or activities.

5 EN ISO 19650 series – an overview
5.1 Introduction
The EN ISO 19650 series addresses the quality and utility of information that is produced and exchanged by
utilizing information management based on information requirements. This is achieved by information
management that generates trust that the information is useful for the purposes it is intended to fulfil. It
emphasizes the benefits accumulated in the project and across the asset life cycle:
— immediately, a reduction in rework by making criteria explicit in advance;
— in the medium term, greater accuracy and efficiency of information production; and
— in the longer term, an increase in the value and relevance of information to decision making.
The goal is to ensure that the right information is available to support decisions throughout the whole life cycle
of assets, and across the economic, social and physical ecosystem within which they sit.
Explanation of the EN ISO 19650 series concepts and processes are given in Clause 10.
5.2 Explanation of terms
This section explains some key terms defined EN ISO 19650-1 (parties), EN ISO 19650-3 (management),
EN ISO 19650-4 (functions) and EN ISO 19650-5 (security).
EN ISO 19650-1 defines two types of party involved in information management: “appointing party” and
“appointed party”.
An appointing party has specific information requirements which the party seeks to fulfil. This is done by
providing clear requests via appointments of appropriate suppliers which set out what, how and when
information should be provided. Further description of the appointing party is given in 6.2.
An appointed party is part of a delivery team which is collectively responding to and delivering specific
information requirements allocated to that delivery team by an appointing party. This delivery team may
consist of a number of appointed parties, with a lead appointed party assigned to achieve overall coordination
of information production and delivery.
EN ISO 19650-3 defines only two terms: “asset management” and “facilities management”. All other terms are
inherited from EN ISO 19650-1.
The term asset management is given the same definition as in ISO 55000, and facility management is given the
same definition as in ISO 41011, with some small modifications in each case. The introduction to EN ISO 19650-
3 explains that, while asset management and facility management have developed into distinct but related
disciplines, asset management has been used in the text to cover both domains. This supports the use of the
term asset in the EN ISO 19650 series.
The terms appointing party and appointed party are used throughout EN ISO 19650-3. During the operational
phase of the life cycle, the appointing party is interpreted as the asset owner or asset operator. An asset
operator can be a separate organization from the asset owner, such as a concession-holder for a public asset
who has day-to-day responsibility for operation and maintenance of the asset.
An appointed party is any organization appointed as part of the asset management activities, to carry out part
or all of the required maintenance and inspection tasks. Appointed parties can be appointed directly by the
appointing party, in which case they are termed lead appointed parties. Appointed parties can be appointed in
any arrangement of parallel, sequential, and hierarchical structures, as indicated in EN ISO 19650-3:2020,
Figure 3.
EN ISO 19650-4 defines three actors: “information provider”, “information reviewer” and “information
receiver”. Their activities are taken by different parties at different events in the collaborative information
management process, but the criteria remain the same.
For example, prior to information being shared for reviewing by other parties, the activities are performed
within the delivery team. Prior to the information being published, also the lead appointed party and the
appointing party need to take action. (see Table 1).

All other terms are inherited from EN ISO 19650-1.
EN ISO 19650-5 introduces the terms “security-mindedness”, “sensitive information”, “security breaches” and
“security incidents”.
Security-mindedness is defined as the understanding and routine application of appropriate and proportionate
security measures in any business situation so as to either deter or disrupt, or both hostile, malicious,
fraudulent and criminal behaviours or activities.
The security-minded approach should be adopted in relation to any sensitive information. Sensitive
information is defined as information where the loss, misuse, or modification of, or unauthorized access to, can
in any combination:
— adversely affect the privacy, welfare, or safety of an individual or individuals;
— compromise intellectual property or trade secr
