Library objects for architecture, engineering, construction and use
This document specifies requirements for defining structure and content for library objects to support project inception, brief, design, tendering, construction, operations, use and demolition, supporting the development of information throughout the process, in connection with building information modelling (BIM) and the organization of the objects into libraries. This document does the following: Establishes requirements for defining template objects, generic objects and product objects in data-driven library and design processes. Establishes requirements for graphical symbols and other graphic conventions for use on drawings for the built environment, giving principles and definitions for the symbolic and simplified visual presentation of objects. It also describes a rationale of symbolism which establishes rules for the design of graphical symbols and other graphic conventions and gives recommendations for the application of those rules and the ways in which symbolism should be used. Defines the purposes of characterizing the shape and measurement of library objects. Defines the purposes of specifying and assessing properties for library objects. It defines the information appropriate for specific uses, including specification of the desired outcome (typically by designers and engineers) and the selection of identified products (typically by contractors and subcontractors). It also gives recommendations for the application of assemblies in integrated BIM working. Refers to the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) schema as a common object model. This document is applicable to all professionals and service providers who produce and use library objects with generic and product-specific information. This group includes, but is not limited to, product manufacturers and suppliers, library authors, designers and engineers, contractors, owners, maintainers and commissioners.

About This Item
TS EN ISO 22014 focuses on how library objects used in architecture, engineering and construction are defined, structured and used. In the BIM context, it treats objects not only as geometry, but as information-bearing entities whose purpose, properties and usage context need to be organised consistently across a project lifecycle.
Types of library objects and their role in practice
The standard addresses requirements for template objects, generic objects and product objects in data-driven library and design processes. In general technical terms, this distinction matters because a template object provides a reusable information framework, a generic object supports early design before a specific product is selected, and a product object represents an identified manufactured item. That separation helps keep design intent distinct from procurement and installation decisions.
Graphic symbols, properties and BIM interoperability
The document also sets out principles for graphical symbols and other graphic conventions used on drawings for the built environment, including the rationale for symbolic and simplified visual presentation. It describes the purpose of characterising library object shape and measurement, and of specifying and assessing properties for those objects. More broadly, it supports the flow of object information from project inception, brief, design and tendering through construction, operations, use and demolition. ISO 22014 also refers to the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) schema as a common object model and gives recommendations for assemblies in integrated BIM working.
