ISO 19650-3: Operational Phase
The standard for information management throughout the operation and maintenance phase of built assets — from handover to decommissioning.
About ISO 19650-3
ISO 19650-3, published in 2020, extends the ISO 19650 series beyond the design and construction phase, covering information management during the operational phase of built assets.
The standard applies immediately after asset handover and covers all operation, maintenance, renovation and decommissioning activities. It builds on the principles of ISO 19650-1 and ensures information continuity throughout the entire building lifecycle.
Asset Information Model (AIM)
AIM is the "digital passport" of the asset — a structured set of information continuously updated throughout its entire lifecycle.
Geometry & Data
3D models, plans, technical component data, specifications and performance parameters.
Documentation
User manuals, certificates, warranties, inspection reports and intervention history.
Continuous Update
AIM is updated at each trigger event, reflecting the actual state of the asset.
PIM becomes AIM at handover
Upon project completion, the Project Information Model (PIM) is transferred and transformed into the Asset Information Model (AIM). This marks the transition from the delivery phase (ISO 19650-2) to the operational phase (ISO 19650-3), ensuring complete information continuity.
Operational Information Requirements
ISO 19650-3 defines four types of information requirements in the operational phase, each with a distinct purpose.
Organizational Requirements
Organizational Information Requirements
The strategic information needs of the asset-owning organization. They define what needs to be known to manage assets at portfolio level.
Asset Requirements
Asset Information Requirements
The information needed for continuous management of individual assets: specifications, intervention history, maintenance plans.
Project Requirements
Project Information Requirements
Requirements triggered by a specific event (renovation, assessment). They define what information is needed for that particular project.
Exchange Requirements
Exchange Information Requirements
Precise specifications for each deliverable: format, level of detail, naming convention, deadlines. Issued for each trigger event.
Trigger Events
The operational information cycle starts each time an event occurs that requires updating or creating information about the asset.
Planned Maintenance
Periodic inspections, replacements according to the preventive maintenance plan.
Condition Assessment
Asset condition assessments for planning future investments.
Emergency Response
Incidents, failures or unforeseen situations requiring immediate intervention.
Capital Project
Major renovations, extensions or modernizations of the existing asset.
Change of Use
Changing the purpose of the asset or its principal occupants.
Decommissioning
Taking out of service, demolition or sale of the asset.
Operational Information Cycle
A continuous process of updating AIM throughout the entire lifecycle of the asset.
Trigger Event
Needs Assessment
Issue EIR
Information Production
Verification & Approval
Update AIM
The cycle repeats with each new trigger event throughout the asset's lifetime
