This part of BS 8541 gives recommendations for defining format and content for library objects to support project briefing, design, tendering, construction and management of built assets.

NOTE 1 A library object is intended for re-use within project teams and across organizations. This improves accuracy and buildability of designs, and improves the handover of information to the procurement chain and to the owner/operator.

It is intended for all professionals and service providers using generic and product specific data.

NOTE 2 This group includes product manufacturers, architects, engineers, contractors, owner occupiers, maintainers and commissioners.

It gives recommendations for defining library template objects, generic objects and product objects in data-driven library and design processes.

Where the adoption of data-driven design is partial or incomplete, this British Standard gives recommendations for best practice. Where a particular project is formally committed to integrated working, this British Standard may be adopted as a requirement.
