[edit] Introduction

BS 1192:2007 Collaborative production of architectural, engineering and construction information. Code of practice. A code of practice to establish a standard methodology for managing the production, distribution and quality of architectural, engineering and construction information, including that generated by CAD systems.

The first edition was BS 1192-5:1990, originally based on work by Avanti and CPI. It was replaced in 1998 by the second edition, BS 1192-5:1998. Third edition was published in December 2007 and provided a more comprehensive code of practice that could be applied to 2D and 3D model-based information systems.

It applied to those involved in the preparation and use of construction information during the design, construction, operation and decommissioning of the projects. It applied to buildings and infrastructure projects. The British Standards Institute (BSI) suggested that it might also offer useful guidance for software developers.

It established common methodologies for naming, classifying, layering and exchanging data when setting up projects that involved collaborative working as well as setting out roles and responsibilities.

[edit] Revision

On 1 July 2015, BSI published a revised version of BS 1192:2007 for consultation. As a result, in 2015, an amendment was published BS 1192:2007+A1:2015 Collaborative production of architectural, engineering and construction information. Code of practice.

This in turn was withdrawn when further amendments were adopted in 2016, and a new version was published: BS 1192:2007 + A2:2016 Collaborative production of architectural, engineering and construction information. Code of practice.

[edit] Withdrawal

In 2018, it was confirmed that BS 1192 would be replaced by international standard BS EN ISO 19650, as would PAS 1192-2.

BSI used the existing suite of UK BIM standards as the basis for the international standards, and so this is in essence an internationalisation of the BIM Level 2 process. However, the new standard is not free.

The new ISO was introduced in January 2019.
