ISO 19650 implementation and compliance

ISO 19650 for building owners and operators

ISO 19650 has become a mandatory project ecosystem for public, industrial and investment projects in many countries. It is used to benchmark the level of maturity for digital information management using BIM and Common Data Environment (CDE) across the asset lifecycle including programming, design and construction phase (ISO 19650-2); operational phase, including facility management, asset and property management (ISO 19650-3).

TÜV SÜD’s Real Estate experts and Digital Built Environment project managers can help you implement ISO 19650’s organisational, technological and specification related items, benchmark and optimise existing ISO 19650 measures, provide practical training for your inhouse project team or project appointed parties, audit and attest to your ISO 19650 achievements.

TÜV SÜD ISO 19650 compliance program

TÜV SÜD’s ISO 19650 compliance program contains 3 areas which are covered in the 3 parts of ISO 19650 standard:

In a stepwise approach, TÜV SÜD helps to implement and provide training on ISO 19650 measures as mentioned above:

1. ISO 19650 Readiness Index

An inexpensive and short assessment will be carried out to understand your level of compliance and to discover existing gaps. Based on reviews, interviews, BIM model checks and TÜV SÜD ISO 19650 Readiness Index, a compliance score will be derived. TÜV SÜD experts will then explain the results and needed measures based on various ISO 19650 levels such as technology and data, roles and responsibilities, documents and guidelines, knowledge/ HR, and processes/workflows.

2. ISO 19650 Onboarding and Implementation

Depending on the results of the Readiness Index, TÜV SÜD's Real Estate experts will implement the necessary measures to achieve ISO 19650 compliance. With TÜV SÜD’s globally proven best practices and project templates, unnecessary consulting fee can be eliminated. You will gain access to project templates, documents, CDE workflows as well as training recordings with unlimited copyrights.

3. Letter of Compliance by TÜV SÜD

Once the correct use of ISO 19650 measures is demonstrated, TÜV SÜD will issue a letter of compliance. This approach prevents investments in unnecessary ISO 19650 framework research and avoid impractical training that might result in unquantifiable outcomes.

*Management process compliance such as ISO 19650 would require ISO/IEC 17065:2012 accreditation for the compliance bodies. However, there’s no ISO/IEC 17065:2012 scheme for ISO 19650 yet. “ISO 19650 compliance” also known as measures in the market are currently not accredited. It is based on expertise of the subject matter experts. ISO 19650 frameworks or compliance marks are, therefore, non-accredited measures.
