Digital forensics method validation: draft guidance (second consultation)

The Forensic Science Regulator (FSR) published code of practice and conduct (codes) for forensic science providers and practitioners in the criminal justice system in 2011 and 2014. The codes are being supplemented with appendices covering specific requirements, guidance, information and protocols.

To finalise the draft guidance appendix, a consultation was held in 2014. All the responses to the 2014 consultation were taken into account and the guidance appendix was redrafted.

The FSR is now seeking guidance on the second draft of the guidance appendix from all interested parties.

All comments will be given consideration prior to publication.
