21043 is already written. Part 1 contains a version of the scientific method that is different in some area from 921.It defines terms to be used in the investigation.

Part 2 This document specifies requirements for the forensic process focusing on recognition, recording, collection, transport and storage of items of potential forensic value. It includes requirements for the assessment and examination of scenes but is also applicable to activities that occur within the facility. This document also includes quality requirements.

Part 3 is Analysis and is still being written.

Part 4 is Interppretations and is still underdevelopment.If this ends up the way it is looking it will be another version of 921 but not as extensive as 921.Thins like scene control, scene examination and recording, items collected and transported, analysis, interpretation and reporting as they dictate it should be will become mandatory requirements.
