Competenz has decided that the unit standards listed above, which were registered in April 1995 and August 1996, should have their period of registration extended.

 

The review of these unit standards is planned to take place during 2007.

 

Date new versions published                                                      July 2005

 

New comments by date                                                                December 2006

 

Expiry date of new versions of the unit standards                December 2007

 

Reason for the Revision

 

The reason for the rollover and revision of these domains is that the unit standards have not been used sufficiently to warrant a review at this stage.

 

Main changes resulting from the revision

 

·        Adjustments to titles to more accurately convey unit standard outcomes in line with recently revised standards in this subfield – titles now relate to food or related products.

·        Adjustments to elements and performance criteria to ensure consistency with amended titles.

·        Adjustments to reflect current legislation.

·        Amendments to moderation option and address for comments.

·        Unit standards 1088, 1095, 2001, 2005 were moved from AMAP 0044 to AMAP 0111.
