BS 8536-1:2015 gives recommendations for briefing for design and construction to ensure that the design takes account of the expected performance of the asset/facility in use over its planned operational life. It is applicable to the provision of documentation supporting this purpose during design, construction, testing and commissioning, handover, start-up of operations and defined periods of aftercare.

This British Standard is not intended to provide detailed guidance on design or construction, but is concerned with information and data that are needed in order that due consideration can be given to operability and performance requirements for the new or refurbished asset/facility. It does not cover decommissioning or other end of life activities.

This British Standard is intended for use by individuals and organizations preparing or contributing to design, construction and operations, in both the public and private sectors, including owners refurbishing an existing asset/facility, organizations procuring a new asset/facility, and the designers, constructors, subcontractors, operators, operations teams, facility managers and other specialists engaged in such activities.
