CEN/TS 18113:2024 PDF

Overview

CEN/TS 18113:2024 - "Guidance on how to implement EN ISO 19650‑series in Europe" - is a European Technical Specification that explains how to apply the EN ISO 19650 series (parts 1–5) across projects and assets. Approved for provisional application in December 2024, this guidance does not change the scope of ISO 19650 but provides neutral, practical interpretation, examples and implementation advice tailored to the European market. It focuses on information management as an integral part of project management, asset management and security management, and is applicable regardless of contract type, procurement route, organization size (including SMEs), works type or project complexity.

Key Topics

The document covers the terminology, concepts and processes needed to implement EN ISO 19650 effectively. Major technical topics and requirements explained include:

• Information requirements: Organizational (OIR), Asset (AIR), Project (PIR), Exchange (EIR) and Task information requirements.
• Information delivery: Master Information Delivery Plan (MIDP), Task Information Delivery Plan (TIDP) and the information delivery cycle.
• BIM execution planning: Pre-appointment BIM execution plan and project BEP content and use.
• Information models and containers: Project Information Model (PIM), Asset Information Model (AIM) and information containers for structured delivery.
• Common Data Environment (CDE): CDE solution, workflows, metadata and collaborative production of information.
• Federation and data exchange: Federation strategies for multi-disciplinary information and model federation.
• Information quality and Level of Information Need: Guidance on metadata, validation and quality checks.
• Security‑minded approach: Handling confidentiality, integrity and availability of information across lifecycle.
• Practical examples and use cases (e.g., district, heritage) demonstrating real deployment.

Applications

CEN/TS 18113:2024 is intended for practitioners who need to implement EN ISO 19650 in Europe:

• Clients / Appointing parties defining information requirements and procurement conditions.
• Lead appointed parties, appointed parties, contractors and consultants preparing BEPs, MIDPs and TIDPs.
• BIM Managers, Information Managers and Project Managers establishing CDEs, workflows and metadata.
• Asset managers and facilities operators transitioning from PIM to AIM for operations.
• Public authorities and SMEs seeking a neutral, Europe-focused interpretation for projects of any scale.

This guidance is useful for implementing BIM and information management consistently across contracts, tendering approaches and asset lifecycles.
