The international standard for managing information over the whole life cycle of a built asset using BIM. ISO 19650 defines the principles and requirements for:

• How information should be produced and delivered
• The CDE workflow (WIP → Shared → Published → Archive)
• Naming conventions and metadata
• Roles and responsibilities (Appointing Party, Lead Appointed Party, Appointed Party)

ISO 19650 is now the global reference standard for BIM, replacing earlier national standards like the UK's PAS 1192 series.
