BS EN 15221-4:2011 Facility management. Taxonomy, classification and structures in facility management FM covers and integrates a very broad scope of processes, products / services, activities and facilities. The approach of BS EN 15221-4 is to consider the added value provided to the primary activities by adopting a product perspective as recognised by the primary processes or core business in the organisation. BS EN 15221-4 therefore introduces the concept of standardised (classified) facility products. The scope of BS EN 15221-4 is to provide taxonomy for FM which includes:

Relevant interrelationships of elements and their structures in FM Definitions of terms and contents to standardise facility products which provide a basis for cross border trade, data management, cost allocation and benchmarking A high level classification and hierarchical coding structure for the standardised facility products Expanding the basic FM model given in EN 15221-1 by adding a time scale in the form of the qualitycycle called PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Act) A linkage to existing cost and facilities structures Alignment with the primary activities requirements.
