A complete B(E2)$\uparrow$ evaluation and compilation for even-even nuclei has been presented. The present paper is a continuation of P.H. Stelson and L. Grodzins, and S. Raman {\it et al.} nuclear data evaluations and was motivated by a large number of new measurements. It extends the list of evaluated nuclides from 328 to 456, includes an extended list of nuclear reaction kinematics parameters and comprehensive shell model analysis. Evaluation policies for analysis of experimental data have been discussed and conclusions are given. Future plans for B(E2)$\uparrow$ systematics and experimental technique analyses of even-even nuclei are outlined.
