The recent versions 3.0 of these StandardDeliverables Facility Services were completely revised, adapted to currentmarket trends and published in autumn 2015. Moreover an English versionof the Standard Facility Services Specifications 3.0 was created and will bepublished shortly.The author Wolfgang Inderwies was the initiator and founding member ofthe cross-association working group. Moreover, he was responsible for thefinal editing of both the German and the English Standard Facility ServicesSpecifications.In his presentation, Wolfgang Inderwies first presents the main innovationsof these documents in version 3.0. These are, for example, definitions ofcost-relevant terms (such as repair and maintenance), maintenancestrategies, documentation requirements in facilities management orcontractual arrangements for the implementation of CAFM software.Moreover he discusses issues that require a special adaption in FacilityServices Contract and Standard Directory of Facility Services, e.g. thesystem of a price list.
