At the beginning of the Lunar New Year, there was good news from China Railway Design Group. IFC43. The standard was officially approved by ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and became the latest revision of the globally recognized International Organization for Standardization BIM standard.
It is understood that ifc (Industrial Foundation Class Standard) is a data standard used in the construction and civil engineering industry, which defines a common data model and format through which construction and civil engineering professionals can transfer and share building information between different software applications.
ifc4.3. The standard is based on the fourth edition of industrial basic standards, which expands the content of railways, highways, water transportation and other infrastructure fields. Entrusted by the Railway BIM Alliance, China Railway Design took the lead in formulating 4 professional standards among the 7 specialties on behalf of the Chinese side, namely professional standards for lines, tracks, roadbeds and bridges. As the leading unit, China Railway Engineering Laboratory organized lines, tracks, roadbeds, bridges and other specialties to undertake the compilation and verification of relevant professional standards. In 2018, the railway IFC standard was established in BUILDINGSMART, the railway IFC standard was released in 2019, and the content of the railway IFC standard was included in IFC4 in 20213 and was officially approved this year.
As an important participant in the compilation of standards, China Railway is conducive to the realization of IFC4The application of 3 standards in domestic BIM software can also help enhance the international influence of China Railway Design, enhance its voice in international standards, and lay a technical foundation for future international standard project applications.
