Further information and queries
A comprehensive programme of communications and engagements will be delivered throughout 2022 to support industry in preparing for and adjusting to SIRE 2.0, and further information will be shared as appropriate. Background information on SIRE 2.0 can be found on OCIMF’s website, here, which also includes an updated Frequently Asked Questions section.

It is important to stress that while OCIMF develops SIRE 2.0, the existing SIRE programme will continue to be supported and improved, ensuring SIRE incorporates the latest industry standards, best practice and regulation.
