ISO 15926

Integration of life-cycle data for process plants including oil and gas production facilities

ISO 15926 currently consists of 7 parts. Part 1 and 2 can be bought from ISO.

The model and the library are suitable for shared databases or data warehouse computer systems in development project and in operation and maintenance. Furthermore, as well as, for defining the terms used in product catalogues in e-commerce. Another used of the standard is as a reference classification for shared databases and product catalogues not based on ISO 15926.


Information concerning engineering, construction and operation of production facilities is created, used and modified by many different organisations throughout a facility's lifetime. The purpose of ISO 15926 is to facilitate integration of data to support the lifecycle activities and processes of production facilities.

The model can support all disciplines and life cycle stages, and it can support information about functional requirements, physical solutions, types of objects and individual objects as well as activities.

ISO 15926 – 3 will make the concepts defined by ISO 10303-42 and ISO 10303-104, including concepts in Earth models and the GIS standards ISO 19107 and ISO 1911, available within the ISO 15926 environment. The ontology defined by ISO 15926-3 will be equally valid for CAD, GIS and Earth models.

Core RDL

ISO TC184/SC4 started an initiative to develop an ISO Maintenance Agency for reference data. Standards and procedures developed by this initiative shall replace Part 5. POSC Caesar has participated in this activity. PCA shall continue to participate in this activity in 2007.

A combined NWI proposal and CD/TS proposal has been prepared for ISO 15926 Part 6.

SO 15926-7 is defining and testing implementation methodologies. Through the IDS project a short cut implementation strategy for using Part 4 reference data as a dictionary of standard terms has been developed.
