Introduction
It is important that this guidance is used as a supporting document to the original EN ISO 19650-1 and
EN ISO 19650−2 documents when implementing the standards. However, this guidance has been
prepared so that it can be read also as a standalone document to understand the principles of
EN ISO 19650−1 and EN ISO 19650−2.
This guidance does not seek to duplicate, contradict or extend the meaning of EN ISO 19650-1 and
EN ISO 19650−2.
This guidance helps to describe the journey to a good digital collaboration based on the EN ISO 19650-1
and EN ISO 19650−2 standards, which are targeted at the whole of the built environment included
infrastructure as well as buildings. It describes some of the key parts of the journey to establish a common
understanding of the digital collaboration. The detailed description of how to achieve this is described in
the EN ISO 19650-1 and EN ISO 19650−2 standards.
The principle of EN ISO 19650-1 and EN ISO 19650−2 standards is a pragmatic approach to allow all
involved parties to collaborate on information management using building information modelling for
projects and built assets as efficiently as possible. There should also be benefits relating to quality from
applying the principle of EN ISO 19650-1 and EN ISO 19650−2.
The first section (Clause 5 and Clause 6) of the guidance provides a description of what the key elements
of the EN ISO 19650−1 and EN ISO 19650−2 standards are. The second section (Clause 7) explains the
EN ISO 19650−2 process, and the examples of Clause 8 are available for European market.

No symbols and abbreviations are listed in this document.
5 Explanation of vocabulary
5.1 Appointment, appointing and appointed parties
5.1.1 Appointment
EN ISO 19650-1:2018, 3.2.2:
appointment: “agreed instruction for the provision of information concerning works, goods or services
Note 1 to entry: This term is used whether or not there is a formal appointment between the parties.”
Proper understanding of these terms requires consideration of them as a group and also collectively with
the terms “BIM Execution Plan (BEP)” and “Exchange Information Requirements (EIR)”. Fuller
understanding will be achieved through review of Clause 6, Explanation of Concepts and Principles.
Within the context of EN ISO 19650, appointment is used at the level of the appointing party with the lead
appointed party and its delivery team, wherein Exchange Information Requirements (EIR) are provided
and a BIM Execution Plan (BEP) is provided in response. The agreed instruction will be cascaded to the
appointed parties by the lead appointed party.
For a fuller explanation of what is an appointment, refer to 6.1 of this document and
EN ISO 19650-1:2018, 5.1.
5.1.2 Appointing party
EN ISO 19650-1:2018, 3.2.4:
appointing party: “receiver of information concerning works, goods or services from a lead appointed
party
Note 1 to entry: In some countries the appointing party might be termed client, owner or employer but the
appointing party is not limited to these functions.
Note 2 to entry: This term is used whether or not there is a formal appointment between the parties.”
In the context of EN ISO 19650, an appointing party has specific information requirements which the
party seeks to fulfil by providing clear requests via appointments of appropriate suppliers which set out
what, how and when information should be provided.
For a fuller explanation of what is an appointing party, refer to 6.1 of this document and
EN ISO 19650-1:2018, 5.1.

5.1.3 Appointed party
EN ISO 19650-1:2018, 3.2.3:
appointed party: “provider of information concerning works, goods or services
Note 1 to entry: A lead appointed party should be identified for each delivery team, but this might be the same
organization as one of the task teams.
Note 2 to entry: This term is used whether or not there is a formal written appointment in place."
An appointed party is part of a delivery team which is collectively responding to and delivering specific
information requirements allocated to that delivery team by an appointing party. This delivery team may
be comprised of a number of appointed parties, with a lead appointed party assigned to achieve overall
coordination of information production and delivery and will work to an agreed delivery plan (see 5.3,
BIM Execution Plan).
For a fuller explanation of what is an appointed party and lead appointed party, refer to 6.1 of this
document and EN ISO 19650-1:2018, 5.1.
5.2 Information requirements
5.2.1 Introduction
Information requirements exist throughout the life cycle and shall be specified to ensure that all decisions
are well supported and well informed, at the right times and to the right people to allow efficient delivery
and running of individual facilities, and ultimately integrated, smart infrastructure, cities and
communities. The information requirements specify what information the organization requires (e.g.
how many customers a particular facility is required to support to meet its business objectives) – the
Organizational Information Requirements (OIR); what information is required during the running of the
asset (e.g. how many spare parts are required at what time to keep the facility running) – the Asset
Information Requirements (AIR); what information is required to deliver the overall project (e.g. when
will all parts of the facility/infrastructure be ready for commissioning, and go live, at what cost) – the
Project Information Requirements (PIR); and what information is needed from each delivery
team/appointed party (e.g. what parts are required to construct this particular element of the facility) –
the Exchange Information Requirements (EIR).
The appointed party responds to the Exchange Information Requirements (EIR) through development
and implementation of the BIM Execution Plan (BEP) (see 5.3) which enables delivery of the required
information as set out in a Master Information Delivery Plan (MIDP) (see 5.4) which brings together the
contributions of each task team as set out in the Task Information Delivery Plans (TIDP) (see 5.4).
5.2.2 Information Requirement (IR)
The umbrella term “Information Requirement (IR)” indicates a clear description of the information
required to support a decision. An Information Requirement is usually related to a specific question(s)
concerning organizational objectives, operation of an asset, delivery of an asset, or in relation to a specific
appointment. The nature of the question helps to inform what information is needed, who will need to
understand it, when it will be needed, and how it should be provided. It should also help to inform the
framework for the level of information need.

SIST-TP CEN/TR 17439:2020
CEN/TR 17439:2020 (E)
5.2.3 Exchange Information Requirements (EIR)
The Exchange Information Requirements (EIR) bring together all the information required from a specific
appointment to support decision which may be at an organization asset or project level as explained in
5.2.1 above. Exchange Information Requirements (EIR) are set out in such a way that the appointed party
can respond through the BIM Execution Plan (BEP) in a clear and direct manner allowing for robust
acceptance criteria to be developed, and in accordance with the plan of information exchange as Master
Information Delivery Plan (MIDP).
5.2.4 Task Information Requirements (TIR)
It should be noted that it is most likely that appointed parties within a delivery team will have their own
information requirements to fulfil their task – and this is recognized within EN ISO 19650. This may be
described as Task Information Requirements (TIR) for convenience, although not specifically referenced
as such in EN ISO 19650.
5.3 BIM Execution Plan (BEP)
EN ISO 19650-2:2018, 3.1.3.1:
BIM execution plan (BEP): “plan that explains how the information management aspects of the
appointment will be carried out by the delivery team
Note 1 to entry: The pre-appointment BIM execution plan focuses on the delivery team’s proposed approach to
information management, and their capability and capacity to manage information.”
A BIM Execution Plan (BEP) is the response of a delivery team to the Exchange Information Requirements
(EIR) of an appointment. It provides the framework that sets out how the appointed parties will work
together as a delivery team, to enable delivery of the information in response to the Exchange Information
Requirements (EIR).
This captures what, when and how exchange of information is organized between task teams within a
delivery team to enable them to develop the information required by the Exchange Information
Requirements (EIR). The Master Information Delivery Plan (MIDP) can then be directly compared with
the Exchange Information Requirements (EIR) to ensure complete matching of deliverables with the
information required.
The BIM Execution Plan (BEP) is developed in two steps, first before the appointment, the second to
confirm and to update if necessary after the appointment. During the second step associated to the BEP,
a Master Information Delivery Plan (MIDP) is developed.
Within this guidance the requirements for information by a task team as described here is referred to as
Task Information Requirements (TIR). The content of BIM Execution Plans (BEP) is described in
EN ISO 19650-2:2018, 5.3.2.
For a fuller explanation of what is an appointed party and lead appointed party, refer to 6.1 of this
document and EN ISO 19650-1:2018, 5.1
5.4 Information Delivery Plans
Task Information Delivery Plan (TIDP), Master Information Delivery Plan (MIDP)
EN ISO 19650-2:2018, 3.1.3.3:
master information delivery plan (MIDP): “plan incorporating all relevant task information delivery
plans”
EN ISO 19650-2:2018, 3.1.3.4:
task information delivery plan (TIDP): “schedule of information containers and delivery dates, for a
specific task team”

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
SIST-TP CEN/TR 17439:2020
CEN/TR 17439:2020 (E)
A Task Information Delivery Plan (TIDP) is prepared by each task team to identify each of the information
deliverables it is responsible for and how they will be managed within their delivery team. A Master
Information Delivery Plan (MIDP) is prepared by each lead appointed party bringing together all of the
Task Information Delivery Plans (TIDP) within their delivery team and resolving any conflicts, or
omissions. The Master Information Delivery Plan (MIDP) could be considered as a part of the BIM
Execution Plan (BEP) and should fulfil delivery of the complete information to the appointing party as
required by the Exchange Information Requirements (EIR). Therefore, the Master Information Delivery
Plan (MIDP) can be used to check that there is a complete match of the information delivered with that
specified in the Exchange Information Requirements (EIR).
NOTE 1 Where the delivery team is small and there is only a single task team, the process of developing a Master
Information Delivery Plan (MIDP) will be more straightforward than described by the standard as it will not require
the compilation of a number of Task Information Delivery Plans (TIDP).
NOTE 2 It can become apparent, when the lead appointed party reviews the Task Information Delivery Plans
(TIDP), that specific Task Information Requirements (TIR) can only be fulfilled by the appointing party, or by
another delivery team. In this case, the lead appointed party is expected to have a dialogue with the appointing party
to establish how this can be accomplished.
