BS 8536-2:2016 gives recommendations for briefing for design and construction in relation to energy, telecommunication, transport, water and other infrastructure to ensure that design takes account of the expected performance of the asset 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 upgraded asset. 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 upgrading an existing asset, organizations procuring a new asset, and the designers, constructors, suppliers, operators, licensees, operations teams, asset managers and other specialists engaged in such activities.
