During this interim period, when using the 6th edition of the Code and/or IPMS: All Buildings (https://www.rics.org/profession-standards/rics-standards-and-guidance/sector-standards/real-estate-standards/international-property-measurement-standards), RICS members and RICS-regulated firms should continue to adopt the appropriate measurement basis so as to satisfy the requirements of the instruction. The basis of measurement used should be documented.

Code of measuring practice became globally effective in May 2015.
