BS EN ISO 19650-3:2020

What is ISO 19650‑3 about?  

ISO 19650‑3 specifies requirements for information management, in the form of a management process, within the context of the operational phase of assets and the exchanges of information within it, using building information modelling. 

Note: ISO 19650‑3 can be applied to all types of assets and by organizations of all types and sizes involved in the operational phase of assets. 

Note: The requirements in ISO 19650-3 should be applied in a way that is proportionate and appropriate to the scale and complexity of the asset. 

Who is ISO 19650‑3 for? 

ISO 19650‑3 on information management using building information modelling is useful 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). 
• Civil engineers 
• Campuses and building 

Why should you use ISO 19650‑3?  

ISO 19650-3 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. 

ISO 19650-3 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. 

ISO 19650-3 can assist you in achieving your goals by direct measures taken by the organisation in issue or delegated to a third party. ISO 19650-3 will help you improve information quality to achieve corporate goals and archive or dispose of faulty or unwanted data. 

As a buyer, ISO 19650-3 will assist you in storing information so that it is safe, easily retrievable, and protected from physical and technological deterioration or obsolescence; and maintaining the agreed level of alignment between the contents of the AIM and the state of the physical asset. 

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.
