To write this document, subject matter expertise is required, as is familiarity with the Regulator's Codes of Practice and Conduct, as well as familiarity with relevant international standards and related guidance. The total time for the selected organisation to complete the task is expected to be three to six months. During this time the requirement is to perform a short practice/literature review (approximately 1,000 words), present the findings to specialist group set up by the Regulator, and then write the appendix (typically 5,000-10,000 words).

About the buyer: Sandra Wyllie ### Address Peel Building, Marsham Street ### LONDON SW1P4DF England ### Email ### HOSprocurement@homeoffice.gov.uk Additional information: The Forensic Science Regulator's "Codes of Practice and Conduct" (the Codes) set out the core requirements for forensic science provision to the Criminal Justice System of England and Wales and provides the regulatory framework. The regulatory framework often requires formal accreditation to an international standard, international standards such as ISO/IEC 17020 are generic to a range of industries and therefore need to be supplemented by specific forensic science and jurisdictional requirements. The Regulator has determined that the international standard ISO/IEC 17020, the international guidance document ILAC G19 and the Codes are applicable for the assessment of fire investigation activities. Although the Codes form the core requirements, discipline specific appendices are sometimes also required to put these core requirements into context and set out assessment expectations and to assist the accreditation body in assessing organisations competence to deliver reliable results. The Regulator has identified the requirement for a specific appendix for forensic fire scene investigation. Such appendices are written to follow the Codes, the relevant international standard, ILAC G19 and for scene activity the United Kingdom Accreditation Service's document RG-201. These set out what is required to be demonstrated in a specific discipline, but they do not replace the need for the implementing practitioner to refer to the Codes, the international standard, RG-201 and ILAC G19.
