2023 Provisional Development - take a look here: these new class structures were voted on by EPHMRA/Intellus in May/June 2022 and agreed in principle. These structures will now be used in the next part of the development process which is the detailed refinement of the rules. Please note that these new class structures are provisional at this time. The 2023 codes, descriptions and Guideline text will be finalised and published by the Committee at the end of 2022. The new structures then come into effect from the beginning of 2023.
