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 opportunity was taken to revise the standards as outline below.

 

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

 

Date new versions published                                                      November 2005

 

New comments by date                                                                November 2006

 

Expiry date of new versions of the unit standards                December 2007

 

Reason for the revision

 

The reason for the rollover of these domains is that the unit standards have not been used sufficiently to warrant a review at this stage.  The revision was undertaken to align the standards with others in the subfield, and specifically, to clarify the intent that they recognise skills in food or related products.

 

Main changes resulting from the revision

 

·        Adjustments to titles to more accurately convey unit standard outcomes in line with recently reviewed standards in this subfield.

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

·        Adjustments to reflect current legislation.

·        Amendments to accreditation option, moderation option and address for comments.

 

Impact on existing qualifications

 

None.
