Brief Description

The Standard ISO 19650-2 is part of the International ISO 19650 Standard Series, which define the framework for information management using Building Information Modelling (BIM).
TÜV AUSTRIA Hellas provides certification services in accordance with the ISO 19650-2 Standard.
ISO 19650-2 specifically addresses information management using BIM during the project delivery phase. It defines requirements and processes for systematic organization, production, exchange, and management of information in construction and infrastructure projects, with the aim of improving collaboration, transparency, and efficiency throughout the entire project life cycle.
Certification according to ISO 19650-2 demonstrates that an organization implements the requirements of the standard for BIM information management, enhancing its credibility at both national and international levels.

Detailed Description

The ISO 19650 Standards Series constitutes the international framework for information management in the built environment using BIM and includes the following parts:

• ISO 19650-1: Concepts and principles
• ISO 19650-2: Project delivery phase
• ISO 19650-3: Operational phase of assets
• ISO 19650-4: Information exchange
• ISO 19650-5: Security-minded approach
• ISO 19650-6: Information management related to health and safety

ISO 19650-2 focuses on the project delivery phase and covers the entire set of information management processes, from defining requirements through to the final delivery of project information.

The core principles of the standard include:

• Clear definition of the Organization and Project Information Requirements (OIR, PIR, AIR, EIR)
• Definition of roles and responsibilities in information management (appointing party, appointed parties)
• A structured approach to planning information management through the BIM Execution Plan (BEP)
• Use of a Common Data Environment (CDE) for information management
• Ensuring the quality, security, and traceability of information
• Continuous monitoring and improvement of information management processes

ISO 19650-2 is applicable to built assets and construction projects of all sizes and all levels of complexity, such as large estates, infrastructure networks, individual buildings and pieces of infrastructure, including the projects or programmes that deliver them. It can be combined with other management system standards, such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 27001, supporting an integrated approach to organizational operations.

Who Is it Addressed To?

Certification according to ISO 19650-2 is aimed at all organizations involved in the project delivery phase using BIM, such as:

• Project owners and appointing authorities,
• Design offices and consultants,
