CEN/TC 442/WG 9 - Digital twins in AECOO sector

CEN/TC 442/WG 9 is a Working Group within the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). It is named "Digital twins in AECOO sector" and is responsible for: Standardization in the field of structured information for the digital twins applied to the built environment, considering methodologies and formats to define, describe, exchange, monitor, record and securely handle digital twin’s data and its related processes in relation with AECOO (Architecture, Engineering, Construction, Operation & Ownership). Digital twins applied to other industries, such as aerospace, cars or machines, are out of the scope of this proposal. This committee has published 2 standards.

CEN/TC 442/WG 9 develops CEN standards in the area of Information technology. The scope of work includes: Standardization in the field of structured information for the digital twins applied to the built environment, considering methodologies and formats to define, describe, exchange, monitor, record and securely handle digital twin’s data and its related processes in relation with AECOO (Architecture, Engineering, Construction, Operation & Ownership). Digital twins applied to other industries, such as aerospace, cars or machines, are out of the scope of this proposal. Currently, there are 2 published standards from this working group.

The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is a public standards organization that brings together the national standardization bodies of 34 European countries. CEN provides a platform for developing European Standards (ENs) and other technical documents in relation to various products, materials, services, and processes, supporting the European Single Market.

A Working Group in CEN is a specialized group responsible for developing standards or technical work within a defined scope. These bodies bring together international experts to create consensus-based standards that support global trade, safety, and interoperability.
