BIM UPDATE - ISO 19650 Published

We have received notification that international BIM standards have been published, providing a framework for managing information through collaborative working using BIM.

They form part of ISO 19650, organization and digitisation of information about buildings and civil engineering works, including building information modelling – Information management using building information modelling.

This is a transition from the PAS 1192 series of standards to international standards.

Part 1 deals with concepts and principles, while Part 2 covers the delivery phase of the assets.

ISO 19650 was developed on the basis of  BS 1192 and publicly available specification PAS 1192-2

The plan is for future standards to include a Part 3 on managing the operational phase of assets and a Part 5 dedicated to security-minded building information modelling, digital built environments and smart asset management.

BS EN ISO 19650–1 Organization of information about construction works – Information management using building information modelling – Part 1: Concepts and principles; and BS EN ISO 19650-2 Organization of information about construction works – Information management using building information modelling – Part 2: Delivery phase of assets, will supersede BS 1192 (principles) and PAS 1192 part 2 (capital/delivery phase) respectively.

In 2020, two further international BIM standards are scheduled to be published.

BS EN ISO 19650-3 Organization of information about construction works – Information management using building information modelling – Part 3: Operational phase of assets; and BS EN ISO 19650-5 Organization of information about construction works – Information management using building information modelling – Part 5: Specification for security-minded building information modelling, digital built environments and smart asset management, will replace PAS 1192 Part 3 (operational phase) and Part 5 (security) correspondingly.

BSI had already announced that it had agreed to stop the current revision activity on PAS 1192 Parts 2 and 3 to avoid market confusion and cost. This followed a consultation with stakeholders.
