Glass and Glazing	Glass Container Manufacturing	18768-18772, 18919-18924

 

The Plastics and Materials Processing Industry Training Organisation has revised the unit standards listed above, which were registered in November and December 2001.  All of the unit standards have also been rolled over to allow further experience with training delivery and assessment of them, and to trigger a formal review once this experience has been gained.

 

The review of these unit standards is planned to take place during 2006.
