How maintenance regimes are defined, how standards like SFG20 describe tasks and frequencies, and how BIM data links each asset to its regime.
Planned (or preventive) maintenance is work done on a schedule to keep assets safe, compliant and working: inspecting, testing, cleaning, replacing parts. Each asset type has a regime: a set of tasks with frequencies and skills. In the UK, SFG20 is the widely used standard library of these regimes. BIM's job is to make sure every maintainable asset arrives in the maintenance system linked to the right regime.
Standards such as SFG20 classify tasks by criticality so owners can decide what to do and what to let run.
