Summary
ISO 12006-2:2015 defines a framework of classification tables (construction entities, complexes, spaces, elements, products, processes, etc.) used to organise BIM information consistently. The conceptual foundation for Uniclass (UK), OmniClass (US), and emerging Indian classifications.
Establishes a framework for classifying information about construction works. The conceptual basis for classification systems like Uniclass, OmniClass, and the Indian ARC classification.
Key Values
Number of classification tables15+
ImplementationsUniclass (UK), OmniClass (US), CCS (Denmark), Talo (Finland)
India equivalentNo published IS classification for BIM
Practical Notes
! Most Indian projects without their own classification borrow Uniclass 2015 directly
! Pick ONE classification system per project and stick with it across all parties
! Classification codes should be embedded as IFC properties for downstream cost/operations use
Cl. 5 — Hierarchical structure of each classification table
Annex A — Example classifications
Which classification system should Indian engineers use?+
There is no published Indian BIM classification. Most Indian projects with international consultants use Uniclass 2015 (UK) because it is the most actively maintained and freely available. OmniClass (US) is also used. Choose one per project and embed classification codes consistently.
