Sources
| “ISO 55013:2024 Asset management — Guidance on the management of data assets” addresses the full management life cycle of data, including data collection, storage, updates, and reviews as well as data extraction and analysis for decision-making. Because Asset Management often requires integration of multiple systems, ISO 55001 addresses integration of data across many disciplines in a cohesive manner. The standard also describes best practices related to asset registers, asset histories, market data, and customer data. Included are approaches to data quality management, methods for data improvement, data storage and protection, technological tools for data utilization, processes for data acquisition, data utilization, data preservation, data archiving, and data deletion. Those in the U.S. can purchase ISO 55013 at the ANSI website , others can purchase from their national standards body. |
