Who updates the SFG20 standard and how often?
The SFG20 standard is maintained and updated by a technical team from the Building Engineering Services Association (BESA). This team is tasked with the development and revision of the technical content within the standard. They conduct regular reviews of the maintenance task schedules, considering factors such as new legislation, advancements in equipment, and changes in best practices.
To ensure the accuracy and relevance of the updated content, a dedicated BESA Service and Facilities executive committee, composed of Directors, Heads of Groups, Senior Management, and representatives from leading practitioners, is responsible for approving the new and updated technical content. This committee plays a pivotal role in ratifying changes to the standard.
Updates and revisions to the SFG20 standard are communicated to subscribers through technical bulletins and schedule updates. This proactive communication ensures that subscribers stay informed about the latest legislative requirements and best practices, helping them maintain compliance with industry standards.
