Overview

ISO 23386:2020 is the Indian Standard (BIS) for building information modelling and other digital processes used in construction — methodology to describe, author and maintain properties in interconnected data dictionaries. ISO 23386:2020 defines how properties (like thermal conductivity, fire rating, U-value) are described, authored, and maintained in interconnected BIM data dictionaries. Used by data dictionary maintainers like buildingSMART (bSDD).

Specifies the methodology for managing properties used in BIM data dictionaries. Defines how new properties are proposed, reviewed, approved, and maintained across organisations.
