Test the asset information production methods and procedures.

The lead appointed party to test asset information production methods and procedures by:

  • test and document the asset information production methods and procedures;

  • validate the proposed information container breakdown structure as workable and refine it if necessary; the information container breakdown structure is a pre-set breakdown of units of information (i.e., division of Models) that should make it easier to manage information containers. This can depend on the size and complexity of the containers. More in ISO 19650-1.
