Driving Digital Standards: Autodesk Construction Cloud Achieves BSI Kitemark Certification for ISO 19650

Structured and standardized data and information management is critical to delivering today’s complex Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations (AECO) projects. As teams manage growing volumes of project information, digital tools play an increasingly important role in helping organizations work more consistently and efficiently.

With this in mind, we’re pleased to share that Autodesk Construction Cloud is now BSI Kitemark certified for compliance with the ISO 19650 Framework — a milestone that reinforces Autodesk’s continued work supporting standards-based collaboration across the industry.
This achievement reflects Autodesk’s long-term commitment to building tools that support consistent information management practices and help organizations strengthen their approach to complying with industry standards.

What is the BSI Kitemark Certification and Why Does It Matter?

The BSI Kitemark Certification is a globally recognized certification for information management issued by the British Standards Institution (BSI). It verifies that Autodesk Construction Cloud supports the workflows and functionality required by ISO 19650, the international standard for managing information across the lifecycle of built assets.

As part of a two-stage audit, BSI evaluated Autodesk Docs, Autodesk Build, and Autodesk Construction Cloud's Model Coordination against the software-enabled requirements of:

  • ISO 19650-1:2018
  • ISO 19650-2:2018
  • ISO 19650-5:2020
  • ISO 19650-6:2025

For our customers, this means Autodesk Construction Cloud offers:

  • Alignment with ISO 19650 standards, based on BSI’s independent evaluation of core information management capabilities.
  • Tools that help teams configure project environments in ways that align with their information management practices and requirements.
  • A consistent and organized environment for managing project data, with Autodesk Docs supporting structured workflows across the lifecycle of a project.

These capabilities can be especially beneficial for organizations working in regions or markets where ISO 19650 compliance is mandated.

Autodesk Docs: Built for Structured Data and Information Management

As the backbone of Autodesk Construction Cloud, Autodesk Docs is purpose-built to help teams manage project information with clarity and control. It serves as the common data environment that connects data and workflows across Autodesk Construction Cloud throughout the entire project lifecycle—making it a central area of focus during the BSI audit.

Autodesk Docs supports versioning, status codes, revision identifiers, and permissioning that aligns with BSI’s interpretation of ISO 19650. It treats both files and folders as information containers and helps teams avoid duplication by intelligently managing metadata and naming conventions.

These capabilities were key components of BSI’s assessment and reflect how Autodesk Docs supports structured information management practices across projects.

Additional Capabilities Evaluated Through the BSI Audit

While Autodesk Docs served as the foundation of the audit, BSI also evaluated how Autodesk Construction Cloud supports a broader set of workflows referenced within the ISO 19650 framework. As part of this review, BSI looked at how Autodesk Construction Cloud supports model coordination and clash detection activities, how design and construction information moves through structured reviews, and how project safety information is documented and managed across teams.

The audit also considered platform-supporting elements, including Autodesk’s customer support processes and the cloud-security practices associated with Autodesk Construction Cloud's cloud-based environment. Together, these areas formed the wider context of how Autodesk Construction Cloud aligns with additional components of the ISO 19650 framework.

Configuring Your Environment for ISO 19650

While BSI Kitemark certification requirements recognize that Autodesk Construction Cloud provides the capabilities needed to support ISO 19650-aligned workflows, each organization determines how these capabilities are implemented and governed within its project environments. Key steps typically include:

  • Aligning with your Exchange Information Requirements (EIR)/Asset Information Requirements (AIR)
  • Defining folder structures and permissions
  • Setting up naming conventions and metadata fields
  • Establishing governance processes
  • Training teams and maintaining consistent project practices

These decisions shape how information flows across a project and how teams work together throughout the project lifecycle. Autodesk Construction Cloud supports your ISO 19650 journey, whether refining existing workflows or establishing new ones.

What This Certification Means Moving Forward

In short, the achievement of BSI Kitemark certification means Autodesk gives you confidence that your projects are built on globally recognized standards for information management. It’s assurance that your teams can work in a structured, consistent way, reduce risk, and meet compliance requirements where they matter most.

Whether you’re aiming for smoother collaboration, stronger governance, or a competitive edge in markets that mandate ISO 19650, this certification helps you get there with clarity and trust. And we’re not stopping here; Autodesk will continue to evolve its products to meet your needs and support the future of digital collaboration.
