Information from BSI:

BSI is pleased to announce the release of the 3rd and final version of BSI Flex 8670: v3.0 2021-04, Built environment – Core criteria for building safety in competence frameworks – Code of practice

This BSI Flex is the result of the Advisory Group reaching consensus on the comments received during two public consultations, with those outcomes being adopted in to the standard. Although the BSI Flex development process has now concluded, BSI Flex 8670 will be transitioning into BS 8670 in 2022. In the interim, version 3 of BSI Flex 8670 is available to download and use from the following link:

Please click on the link directly below the header to access version 3 of BSI Flex 8670. The link also takes you to supporting documentation which provides the context for the work, how people should interact with BSI Flex 8670 and the process going forward. Anyone who is unfamiliar with the work programme should read these documents.

BSI is, first and foremost, seeking feedback on using BSI Flex 8670 in the hope that we can make BS 8670 even better. Please provide this, by answering some specific questions, via this feedback form. Clause by clause commenting can be made through our standards development portal.

BSI Flex 8670 will be available until BS 8670 is published, unless we receive authoritative advice to withdraw it. We ask that industry keep using BSI Flex 8670 until it is either superseded or withdrawn.
