Introduction
This document defines the code of practice that applies for services relating to the management of buildings
and properties. The definitions are intended to serve the unification of the various terms hitherto used and the
associated services with the aim of creating more transparency on the market and assist CEN/TC 247 in
standardizing of:
– Technical building management systems, tools and methods
– Connections and interfaces between the different building management processes

Building services relating to technical building management are listed in this document.
For a better understanding of the whole building management process, the services relating to infrastructural
and financial building management which are not alone under the scope of CEN/TC 247 are listed in the
informative annexes A and B.
The interdependencies of services in terms of strategic management and operation of buildings will be defined
in more detail in the European standards for Facility Management by CEN/TC 348.
