NBN ISO 15686-7:2021

This document provides a generic basis for performance evaluation for feedback of service life data
from existing buildings and constructed assets, including a definition of the terms to be used and
the description of how the (technical) performance can be described and documented to ensure
consistencies.
The purpose of this document is to describe the principles for service life performance surveys and
evaluation with an emphasis on technical recommendations. It describes a generic methodology,
including the terms to be used, that provides guidance on the planning, documentation and inspection
phases, as well as on analysis and interpretation of performance evaluations, both on the object (single
building) and network (stock of buildings) level. While maintenance planning is outside the scope of
this document, maintenance-driven inspections and subsequent recommended actions could have
significant effects upon service life and performance.
