Version 6 of the FORS Standard was due to be issued in 2020.

FORS’ Mark Chapman said the update was intended to be “a pragmatic and incremental change” from the current version. 

“It’s designed to be manageable by the industry during this particularly challenging period,” he added.

“The series of webinars will explain the updates to the FORS Standard.

“In addition, they will provide FORS members with an overview of these changes at Bronze, Silver and Gold levels.” 

The 60-minute sessions will offer an important opportunity to connect with the wider FORS community.

 Meanwhile, Sonia Hayward, FORS Manager, stressed the importance of the webinars. 

“Members will obviously be keen to find out about the changes and how to demonstrate compliance. 

“These online sessions will provide an ideal opportunity for our members to hear first-hand what the changes are.”
