Summary of review and consultation process
These unit standards have been reviewed and restructured at the request of the Dairy industry, as they no longer met current industry requirements. These unit standards are part of review of the National Certificate in Dairy Manufacturing (Laboratory Technology) (Level 4) [Ref: 0581]. Other unit standards in this qualification are still undergoing review and will be covered in a separate review report.
Main changes resulting from the review
Unit standards 8961, 8964, 8965, 8968, and 4308 have been replaced by unit standards 22045, 22044, 22043, 22042, 22041 respectively. All unit standards have had title changes and major changes to special notes, elements, and performance criteria to better reflect the industry's needs. In unit standard 22045, (replacement unit standard for 8961) the credit value has been increased and for unit standard 22042 (replacement unit standard for 8968) the credit value has been decreased.
Changes have been made to the special notes and references for unit standard 8967.
Unit standard 4314 in the Dairy Product Safety and Risk Management domain has been reclassified to Dairy Laboratory Methodology domain and changes have been made to the special notes and references.
Twenty-five new unit standards have been developed to fill gaps identified within the domain of dairy laboratory methodology.
Unit standards categorised as category C expire at the end of December 2008.
