Building BIOS Architecture

Enrollment is the process through which a verified entity is admitted into the configuration scope of a specific building.

Registration records the entity within the authoritative BIOS Registry.

Enrollment shall require:

verified or approved provisional identity;

recognized Type Identity;

intended building location;

host relationship;

Interface definitions;

compatibility precheck;

applicable Engineering Profile;

authorization by the appropriate role;

available evidence and certification;

lifecycle status suitable for installation.

The enrollment record shall identify:

enrolling authority;

enrollment method;

date and time;

building configuration version;

assigned location;

host and dependency relationships;

initial permissions;

restrictions;

required commissioning actions.

Entities may receive enrollment status as:

pending;

provisionally enrolled;

enrolled but not connected;

connected but not commissioned;

active;

suspended;

rejected;

removed;

decommissioned.

Factory pre-enrollment may prepare Cartridges for a specific building, but site verification shall confirm that the intended physical Instance and location are correct.

Automatic enrollment may be permitted for low-risk predefined components within an approved procurement and installation process. Safety-critical, structural, control-authority, or security-sensitive entities shall require stronger authorization.

Removal from the active building Registry shall not delete lifecycle history. The record shall transition to removed, transferred, or decommissioned status.
