When asked: are you aware of any Standard or Guide that exists
for BIM object creation ?
HTML https://www.nationalbimlibrary.com/
HTML https://bimobject.com/en

Reference:
“BIM Content Development” by Robert S. Weygant, Wiley, 2011

Good foundation to develop Product Libraries:

Any others?

Hi Erik,
Actually worldwide there are plenty of sites, but product data
is really a separate thing.
CoBuilder actually specialize in product data (as distinct from
a BIM object). Basically, they dont' concern themselves with
geometry, but focus instead on collecting and distributing
structured product data for construction and facility management
purposes. Their primary focus is on delivering minimum product
information mandated in the EU for any construction products
supplied for a building. I know about them because they lean
heavily on bSDD technology to accomplish their goal of offering
this service in 12 languages.
There is a very powerful movement afoot to standardize how
Product Data Templates are structured -- in ISO TC59/SC13/WG11,
CEN 442/WG4 and buildingSMART International Product Room, and
some national efforts in Europe. The benefit is quality,
structured product data compatibility between the providers that
carry them and software that supports them. Let me know if
you're interested in hearing more about this.
