The scope of the committee is the organization and digitization of information about buildings and civil engineering works, including building information modelling (BIM)
SC 13 is charged by TC 59 to focus on international standardization of information through the whole life cycle of buildings and infrastructure across the built environment
- to enable interoperability of information;
- to deliver a structured set of standards, specifications and reports to define, describe, exchange, monitor, record and securely handle information, semantics and processes, with links to geospatial and other related built environment information;
- to enable object-related digital information exchange.
The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is a public standards organization whose mission is to foster the economy of the European Single Market and the wider European continent in global trading, the welfare of European citizens and the environment by providing an efficient infrastructure to interested parties for the development, maintenance and distribution of coherent sets of standards and specifications. CEN is one of three European Standardization Organizations (together with CENELEC and ETSI) that have been officially recognized by the European Union and by the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) as being responsible for developing and defining voluntary standards at European level.
CEN TC 442 is the technical committee working under CEN with the purpose of supporting the creation and management of BIM related standards. The scope of CEN TC 442 is BIM standardization in the field of structured semantic life-cycle information for the built environment. The committee aim to develop a structured set of standards, specifications and reports which specify methodologies to define, describe, exchange, monitor, record and securely handle asset data, semantics and processes with links to geospatial and other external data.

Red BIM de Gobiernos Latinoamericanos (Red BIM Gob Latam) is a network of representatives from the public sector in Latin American countries. Its members currently include Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Peru and Uruguay.
Red BIM Gob Latam aims to increase the productivity of the Latin America’s construction industry through digital transformation, accelerating BIM implementation programmes through collaboration and knowledge sharing. The network diffuses and promotes common guidelines, commercial exchange and knowledge transfer across all countries with the support and financial backing of the Inter-American Development Bank.
You can view a Seminar on the progress of the implementation of BIM in the region on its YouTube channel, which was streamed in November 2020. Representatives of the Gob Latam BIM network introduced their national objectives and presented their BIM implementation strategies.
