The Plumbing, Gasfitting and Drainlaying ITO Ltd (the ITO) has reviewed the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published October 2006
Planned review date December 2011
Summary of review and consultation process
These unit standards had passed their anticipated expiry date and needed to be reviewed to align with current industry requirements, the review and development of roofing national certificates, and anticipated requirements for the licensing of roofers.
In 2003, the ITO commissioned a survey of its Roofing Advisory Board members and industry contacts to identify industry qualification needs. In 2005, a further study was carried out to determine the match between the requirements of the standards in the reviewed and new roofing qualifications, and the anticipated Department of Building and Housing (DBH) competency requirements for roofers as Licensed Building Practitioners (LBPs) for roofing projects. These competency requirements are yet to be finally determined by DBH. However, the review of these unit standards must be finalised to meet industry needs in the interim.
By 2009 it will be mandatory for all completed roofing projects to be signed off by an appropriately licensed LBP. Between now and then, the above (and new) unit standards and associated qualifications will have been further reviewed to ensure they fully match DBH competency requirements.
The ITO's Roofing Advisory Board has participated throughout the review process.
Main changes resulting from the review
· The unit standards have been moved from AMAP 0008 to new AMAP 0227.
· Addition of a new special note throughout the batch explaining the unit standards apply to both new roofing and re-roofing.
· Changes to specifically listed legislation and other compliance requirements in special notes throughout the batch.
· Throughout the batch, extending the special note referring to accessing references to sources from the ITO to one that explains how more detailed information regarding relevant legislation, standards, and codes may be obtained from the ITO website.
· Definitions added to special notes throughout the batch, including definitions for ‘job specifications' and ‘manufacturer's requirements'.
· Replacing ‘enterprise procedures' with ‘company requirements' in special note definition and within performance criteria throughout the batch.
· Adjustments to some elements, performance criteria, and their ranges, where required, to correct minor technical errors and/or to reflect current good practice.
· Removal of some performance criteria to correct duplication of health and safety matters and for consistency of pattern across the batch.
· In addition to the above, more extensive changes to unit standard 10815 in terms of title, increase in credit value from 10 to 15, and changes to make the cladding aspect, touched upon in the previous version, more explicit in elements 1, 2, and 3. Performance criterion 2.5 has been removed.
