The FORS Standard Version 6.0 was published on 19 October 2021, for implementation on 1 July 2022. This update is a pragmatic and incremental change from the current version 5.1 to be manageable by the industry during this particularly challenging period.

Version 6.0 has been informed through extensive industry feedback across a variety of platforms, including feedback from FORS members, detailed technical input from the Standard Review Working Group, and the wider Governance and Standards Advisory Group (GSAG), which comprises a range of key stakeholders and supporters of FORS.

A series of webinars took place between October and November 2021, which explained the process undergone to update the FORS Standard, and provided an overview of the changes at Bronze, Silver and Gold levels.
