BS EN ISO 19650-3:2020 PDF Download

This is the latest in the ISO 19650 series of international standards on building information modelling (BIM) which are replacing BSI’s UK BIM documents. BS EN ISO 19650-3:2020 covers information management requirements while the built asset is operational.  

Who is BS EN ISO 19650-3:2020 for?

The standard is for owners and operators of built assets of all sizes and levels of complexity from individual buildings and portfolios of buildings (government and commercial) to infrastructure networks (rail, road etc), and pieces of infrastructure (bridges, flood prevention etc).

BS EN ISO 19650-3:2020 can be applied by all types and sizes of organization involved in the operational phase.

Why should you use BS EN ISO 19650-3:2020?

This document provides a common information management process that enables an appointing party (such as an asset owner, asset operator or outsourced asset management provider) to establish their information requirements during the operational phase of an asset, and to provide the appropriate collaborative environment.

Within this environment, multiple appointed parties can produce information in an effective and efficient manner. It will encourage more effective collaboration on global projects, and allow designers and contractors working on all kinds of building works to have clearer and more efficient information management.

Ultimately BS EN ISO 19650-3:2020 will help asset owners and operators achieve their business objectives through effective and efficient production, use, and management of information throughout the operational and end-of-life phases of assets where building information modelling is used.

NOTE: The requirements in this document should be applied in a way that is proportionate and appropriate to the scale and complexity of the asset.

BS EN ISO 19650-3:2020 contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals 9, 11 and 12. It underpins the application of BIM technology, so helps foster an important innovation which raises productivity. It enables knowledge sharing which promotes the construction of resilient infrastructure, and upholds more efficient and sustainable urban planning and management. The standard also enables collaboration and integrated planning which support resource efficiency as requested in SDG 12. Finally, BS EN ISO 19650-3:2020 encourages collaboration along the supply chain and as such enables sustainable procurement. 

What’s new about BS EN ISO 19650-3:2020?

This standard is an internationalized version of PAS 1192-3:2014.
