Summary
These unit standards were revised prior to the imminent review of the National Certificate in Composites (Level 4) [Ref: 0121]. The responsibility for Industrial Composites and Production Composites domains had been recently transferred from Competenz to the Boating Industry Training Organisation. Adjustment of domain and titles of unit standards was required so standards could be used in both boatbuilding and composite contexts and to avoid duplication. The revision also provides clarification of terminology and calibration between standards.
The changes were made as part of the planning and consultation for the review of the National Certificate in Composites (Level 4) [Ref: 0121].
Main changes
· Titles and elements were altered to broaden the suitability of standards for use in boatbuilding and composite contexts.
· Terminology was clarified for the related but distinctly different processes: resin injection, infusion, resin transfer moulding (RTM) and RTM light.
· Standards 23036 and 23254 have changed subfield and domain.
