ISO 12006-3 defines the underlying data model for BIM related dictionaries. This will be the foundation of this standard. Engineering tools are used to define, simulate and operate building services systems (including e.g. HVAC systems and building automation systems). To build such a system basically means to interconnect different products in a way that the resulting system fits into the building and works according to the functional requirements. The products are selected from product catalogues of manufactures or distributors. Important aspects of these products are information on their behaviour in different situations and the connection points that allow to connect the products and to build the system. The goal of this standard is to support the engineering tools by enabling them to identify the relevant information easily in different dictionaries. In the area of building services, a few generic concepts are widely used: This standard defines some common high-level elements and some design patterns which provide a way to identify these basic structures across dictionaries. This prevents tools from the necessity to be adapted to each dictionary they have to deal with, and it ensures that basic dictionary elements can be used with the same semantics across dictionaries.

 

This part of the standard – EN ISO 16757 Part 5: Product catalogue exchange format - describes how product catalogue data for building services products is exchanged by means of a specific IFC MVD from manufacturers to designers of building services systems. With EN ISO 16739-1:2020, an open language exists for the creation, transfer and maintenance of design models. The standard EN 17549-2 defines the data exchange of scalable product properties within IFC. It represents a simplification of EN ISO 16739-1:2020 from an information technology perspective and as such is a Model View Definition (MVD). It focuses on core classes and relies on external data dictionaries to describe business semantics. This part of the standard EN ISO 16757 completes the description of the IFC-based data exchange format for manufacturer catalogues including the parametric properties of for example: This standard is aimed at both software manufacturers for the construction sector and professionals in the sector who use their software. This part of the standard focuses only on the format of the data exchanged and not on how to process it. Notes on the implementation of the standard in application software can be found in the (non-normative) Annex B. This standard does not (!) directly lead to an automatic selection of products. The product data catalogue does not contain any decision criteria for this. However, the data of a catalogue could be searched by application programs looking for a suitable product size. According to EN ISO 16757 Part 4, this standard does not provide a data template, as it assumes that these are already defined in data dictionaries according to EN ISO 12006-3. This part of the EN ISO 16757 standard describes the overall scope of the types of data that can be transmitted, and the form of transmission. Specialist planners of complete systems for building services, for example, will expect almost all of this data in the catalogue, as they require the shape data for dimensioning and clash detection in addition to the technical design and setting of the products. However, there are also special applications that only require individual property values (for example the weight and space requirement for transport planning). For these purposes, different extensive templates according to EN ISO 16757 Part 4 are set up.

 

The focus of ISO 16757 is the support of manufacturers to provide their product data in electronic product catalogues. This part of the standard – ISO 16757 Part 5: Product catalogue exchange format - describes how product catalogue data is exchanged as IFC format according to ISO 16739-1 from manufacturers to designers of building services systems. With ISO 16739-1 (IFC), an open language exists for the creation, transfer and maintenance of design models. prEN 17549-1 and prEN 17549-2 define the data exchange of scalable product properties within IFC. These standards provide a Model View Definition (MVD), a subset of ISO 16739-1 from an information technology perspective. It focuses on core classes and relies on external data dictionaries to describe business semantics. This document completes the description of the IFC-based data exchange format for manufacturer catalogues by describing how to model: • Catalogue metadata • Product classes • Constraints for parametric data • Product accessory structures • Constraints for assembling composable products and accessories • Reusable and multiply used data blocks • Product properties as defined in the related library • Static product properties • Dynamic computable properties • Geometric data of product spaces • Geometric data of product symbols • Geometric data of product shape • Geometric data of product ports • Article numbers • Etc. This document focuses only on the format of the data exchanged and not on how to process it. This document is aimed at both software manufacturers for the construction sector and professionals in the sector who use their software.

 

The focus of ISO 16757 is the support of manufacturers to provide their product data in electronic product catalogues. The standard - ISO 16757 Part 4: Dictionaries for product catalogues – describes which data structures are required in a dictionary to support the exchange of product data from manufacturers to designers of building services systems. Basis for this specification are the standards ISO 12006-3 and ISO 23386. In the scope of this standard are the following elements: - The definition of roles of ISO 12006-3 subjects that are needed to describe the concepts used in current product catalogue dictionaries. These roles include the following: o Product classes to represent product groups with similar property sets o Blocks that represent reusable and multiply used set of properties o System classes that represent the systems into which a product may be installed and provide the system properties which determine the values of dependent product properties o Port classes that allow the product independent description of different kinds of ports which can be used for the definition of product classes or blocks o Catalogue classes that describe the meta data of a catalogue o Tagging classes that allow the tagging of properties to distinguish property roles in the product description - A requirement model capturing the necessary structures to describe these roles - A mapping to the dictionary model of ISO 12006-3.

 

This document applies to the whole range of shutters, awnings and blinds defined in EN 12216, described as solar protection devices in this document. It specifies the corresponding properties and classifications: - relating to thermal comfort: - the solar factor (total solar energy transmittance); - the secondary heat transfer factor; - the direct solar transmittance; - relating to visual comfort: - the darkening performance; - the night privacy; - the visual contact with the outside; - the glare control; - the daylight utilization; - the rendering of colours. NOTE For other purposes, more detailed methods using different parameters can be used. Some of the characteristics (e.g. gtot) are not applicable when solar protection devices are not parallel to the glazing (e.g. folding-arm awnings). This document is not applicable to the solar protection devices using fluorescent materials.

 

This part of ISO 9239 specifies a method for assessing the wind-opposed burning behaviour and spread of flame of horizontally mounted floorings exposed to a heat flux radiant gradient in a test chamber, when ignited with pilot flames. Annex A gives details of assessing the smoke development, when required. This method is applicable to all types of flooring, e.g. textile carpet, cork, wood, rubber and plastics coverings as well as coatings. Results obtained by this method reflect the performance of the flooring, including any substrate if used. Modifications of the backing, bonding to a substrate, underlay or other changes of the flooring may affect test results. This part of ISO 9239 is applicable to the measurement and description of the properties of floorings in response to heat and flame under controlled laboratory conditions. It should not be used alone to describe or appraise the fire hazard or fire risk of floorings under actual fire conditions. Information on the precision of the test method is given in Annex B.

This part of the EN 1366 series specifies a method of test and criteria for the evaluation (including field of direct application rules) of the ability of a partial penetration seal to maintain the fire resistance of a separating element at the position at which it has been penetrated by a device or devices that passes through one face of the element only. Partial penetration seals are used to seal apertures for electrical sockets, downlighters, media devices, cables and any item which requires an opening to be made in one face of the element of construction but does not include a device which passes through both faces. Supporting constructions are used in this part of the EN 1366 series to represent separating elements such as walls or floors. These simulate the interaction between the test specimen and the separating element into which the sealing system is to be installed in practice. This part of the EN 1366 series is used in conjunction with EN 1363 1. The purpose of a test described in this part of the EN 1366 series is to assess the integrity and insulation performance of the partial penetration seal, of the penetrating service(s) or device(s) and of the separating element in the surrounding area of the partial penetration seal. Where partial penetration seals are installed in ceilings and floors, the loadbearing capacity shall also be considered. No information can be implied by the test concerning the influence of the inclusion of such penetrations and penetration seals on the loadbearing capacity of walls. It is not the intention of this test to provide quantitative information on the rate of leakage of smoke and/or hot gases or on the transmission or generation of fumes. Such phenomena are only to be noted in the test report in describing the general behaviour of test specimens during the test. Tests in accordance with this part of the EN 1366 series are not intended to supply any information on the ability of the partial penetration seal to withstand stress caused by movements or displacements of the penetrating devices. The risk of spread of fire downwards cannot be assessed with this test. Tests in accordance with this part of the EN 1366 series do not address any risks associated with leakage of dangerous liquids or gases caused by failure of the device in case of fire.

This document specifies requirements and classification systems for burglar resistant characteristics of pedestrian doorsets, windows, curtain walling, grilles and shutters. It is applicable to the following opening functions: Turning, tilting, folding, turn-tilting, top or bottom hung, sliding (horizontally and vertically), pivoted (horizontally and vertically), projecting and rolling as well as non-openable constructions. It also covers products that include items such as letter plates or ventilation grilles. It specifies requirements for the burglar resistance of a construction product (as defined in 3.1 of this document). NOTE 1 The elements of curtain walling will be assigned to group 1 to 4 product depending on their design. This document does not directly cover the resistance of locks and cylinders to attack with picking tools. Building hardware are components of the above mentioned products and cannot be classified as such according to this document. This document does not apply to walls and roofs, as well as for doors, gates and barriers, intended for installation in areas in the reach of persons, and for which the main intended uses are giving safe access for goods and vehicles accompanied or driven by persons in industrial, commercial or residential premises, as covered by EN 13241:2003+A2:2016. NOTE 2 It is important that construction products that can be reached or driven through by vehicles are protected by appropriate measures such as barriers, extensible ramps, etc. The requirements to an electronic security system (e.g. access control system) to control electromechanical locks and strikes according to EN 14846:2008 are not in the scope of this document. NOTE 3 Locks and striking plates according to EN 14846:2008 needs an access control system for authorized and secure access (comparable to a lock cylinder). The transmission of the signal between the lock and the access control system (e.g. wiring) needs also consideration. (The signal is transmitted in encrypted form or is not accessible during the manual attack attempt.) Upcoming revisions of this document might include such a reference.

NOTE 1 It is also applicable to other wood-based products, to other solid products e.g. impregnates or decorative paper and to liquid products (e.g. adhesives). The determination of melamine is performed by extraction in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and subsequent high-performance chromatography (HPLC) analysis and ultraviolet (UV) detection. NOTE 2 For determination of melamine in foodstuff EN 16858 is applicable. For determination of melamine in animal feeding stuffs EN 17212 is applicable. For determination of melamine in textiles EN ISO 1833 26 is applicable.

 

This document specifies the calculation method, based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and other quantified environmental information, to assess the environmental performance of a building and its site, and gives the means for the reporting and communication of the outcome of the assessment. The standard is applicable to new and existing buildings and refurbishment projects. The document gives: - the description of the object of assessment, - the system boundary that applies at the building level, - the procedure to be used for the inventory analysis, - the list of indicators and procedures for the calculation of these indicators, - demand for information concerning environmental impacts and aspects at the local environment level (including emissions to indoor air), - demand for information concerning building generated energy reporting and design for circularity as technical characteristics that support environmental performance, - the requirements for the data necessary for the calculation, and - the requirements for presentation of the results in reporting and communication. The approach to the assessment covers all stages of the building life cycle and is based on data obtained from Environmental Product Declarations (EPD), their “information modules” (EN 15804:2012+A2:2019) and other data and information necessary and relevant for carrying out the assessment. The assessment includes all building related construction products, processes and services, used over the life cycle of the building. Methodologies for and approaches to the interpretation and the making of value judgments of the results of the assessment are not within the scope of this document. NOTE 1 This document provides system boundaries, calculation rules and indicators to compile and assess the life cycle inventory and life cycle environmental impacts of buildings. NOTE 2 The document also provides the methodological basis and assessment rules to support the achievement of environment related macro objectives in Europe and instruments such as the European reporting framework Level(s).
