according to Install /e/OS on a Fairphone The Fairphone (Gen. 6) - “FP6”

If you plan to relock the bootloader after the installlation

(not mandatoty, only available with Official version, why relocking ?)
Most important thing to take care about is the “android Security Patch Level” in the already installed Operating System on your device before you start the install process.

It must be OLDER than the “android Security Patch Level” included in the /e/OS build you want to install, otherwise you risk to change your device into Brick.

• You will find this information about stock OS on the device :

settings --> about phone --> android version 15 --> android security update

• you will find this information about /e/OS build on the install instructions page for you device if your device is supported by /e/

• but also on the release article about the /e/OS version you want to install even if you device have no instructions page :
  the title of the article need to match both “/e/OS version” and “android level”,
  currently "e-3.2-a15"

Finaly,

only if the android security update in the previously installed Operating System was older
than the android security update included in the /e/OS build you want to install
you will be abble to relock the bootloader according to instructions at the bottom of the device install page (only possible with Official version)

check bootloader status by running :

./fastboot oem device-info

./fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability

if the return is 0
DON’T TRY TO RELOCK
risk is to brick your device (wait untill next /e/OS update)

if the return is 1
→ you can relock
