CMR for ElectroTechnology, Telecommunications, Emergency Services, Offender Management, Security, Financial Services, Insurance Services and Contact Centres [Ref: 0003]

 

Revision of ElectroTechnology Industry Training Organisation CMR

 

The ElectroTechnology Industry Training Organisation (ETITO) has revised the Consent and Moderation Requirements (CMR) above.

 

Date new version published                                                             May 2011

 

The next CMR review is planned to take place during 2011.

 

Reason for the revision

 

The CMR was revised to restructure all the industry or sector-specific requirements for consent to assess for each sector into one place.  Each Appendix now contains all the industry or sector-specific requirements for consent to assess relevant to that sector.  In the process of this restructure a new appendix for Telecommunications was created.

 

A new subsection for Explosive Atmospheres in the ElectroTechnology Appendix was added in response to new Explosive Atmospheres subfield and domains being registered.

 

Compliance with new requirements

 

Requirements for consent to assess will apply with effect from May 2011.

 

Moderation requirements will apply with effect from May 2011.

 

Organisations with consent to assess will be expected to be able to demonstrate compliance with CMR requirements from November 2011.
