A Product Data Sheet summarises the performance and other technical characteristics of each construction product, material or component according to specific regulatory, market or client-specific requirements that have been incorporated in the template’s mechanism.<br /> <br /> A PDS is like a product’s passport – it is traceable to the manufacturer and unique for the construction product. Through using PDSs the whole supply chain benefits from the most accurate, up-to-date manufacturer’s data, accordingly delivered by the most credible source. Moreover, having data as opposed to PDFs or CDs allows for all sorts of automation. Manufacturers can integrate their PDSs repository software with their PIM, DAM, ERP systems in order to ensure that the data held in the PDS is always up-to-date. They can also choose the PDSs as their single source of truth (SSoT) and automatically update further third-party systems with the most accurate data.<br /> <br /> PDSs can be populated with construction product data by roles other than the manufacturer. Such PDSs are often referred to as 'project-specific' PDSs, because their author can verify the accuracy of the data held in the PDS during a limited period of time.<br /> <br /> Information sourced from: [http://gobim.com/what-is-a-product-data-sheet-pds/ http://gobim.com/what-is-a-product-data-sheet-pds/]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Theory]] [[Category:Standards_/_measurements]] [[Category:Products_/_components]]</div>

Such credible sources are product standards declaring the performance characteristics of products and the methods they should be tested against. There is a specific hierarchy of credible data sources taken into account in the PDT structure. Legal data sources such as European Harmonised standards are with greater priority than national standards which have greater priority than industry and user recognized requirements (like BREEAM, COBie). This is how Product Data Templates are created to serve as a common framework for anyone to use in order to manage construction product related data. Product Data Templates are especially useful for manufacturers who can populate them with the most up-to-date and accurate information about their products. Once complete, this populated template is called a Product Data Sheet (PDS).<br /> <br /> [[File:PDT 1.jpg]]<br /> <br /> == Who develops the methodology for creating PDTs? ==<br /> <br /> International standardisation bodies CEN and ISO are developing a series of standards to cover the methodology for creating Product Data Templates. As these standards are planned to be officially published by the beginning of 2019, companies currently develop Product Data Templates based on a general European construction industry consensus and the draft standards currently in development by the CEN technical committee 442, Work group 4 looking at product dictionaries and templates.<br /> <br /> Page information sourced: [http://gobim.com/what-is-a-product-data-template/ http://gobim.com/what-is-a-product-data-template/]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Theory]] [[Category:Standards_/_measurements]] [[Category:Products_/_components]]</div>
