UNE-EN ISO 19650-6:2026

This document outlines the concepts and principles to ensure that health and safety information is classified, shared and delivered collaboratively, ensuring the economic, environmental and social benefits are secured.

This document;

a)specifies requirements for the collaborative sharing of structured health and safety information throughout the project and asset life cycles.

b)supports the digitization of structured health and safety information in the project and asset life cycles progressively from the outset.

c)provides specification on how health and safety information is shared for use throughout the project and asset life cycle. Whilst all health and safety risk information can be included within an information model; this document requires the contextualization and filtering of hazards and risks to prioritize the health and safety risks and aspects that are safety critical.

d)sets out a health and safety risk information cycle framework for the identification, use, sharing and generalization of health and safety information through information management processes including BIM and applications to provide a safer and healthier environment around the assets.

This document is applicable to individuals and organizations that contribute to and influence the procurement, design, construction, use (including maintenance) and end of life of an asset.

It is intended to address information management at a stage of maturity described as BIM according to the ISO 19650 series . However, the principles and requirements of this document can be applied equally to delivery or in-use phases not using BIM.

It specifies how to use health and safety information to:

provide a safer and healthier environment for end users;

mitigate the inherent hazards and health and safety risks across the asset life cycle;

result in improved health and safety performance, fewer incidents and associated impacts;

provide for clearer, more assured and relevant health and safety information to the right-people at the right time ;

increase construction and operational value.

This document does not change the legal obligations on parties around health and safety risk management.
