Further steps for CFIHOS include improving awareness among equipment suppliers and vendors to increase their engagement, as well as feed existing feedback into a new version of the standard.

Benefits offered by CFIHOS are many for stakeholders in the plant supply chain.

These include improved data integrity, reduced effort and cost for owner operators in specifying information requirements for their supply chains, and decreasing costs for contractors through a standardised set of requirements for data handover on every project. In addition, standardised and repeatable information requirements for equipment suppliers, and common definitions for all software suppliers are included.

CFIHOS project is a global initiative in coordination with ENAA, a Japanese consortium for EPC contractors.
