The Electricity Supply Industry
Training Organisation has completed the review of the unit standard listed
above.
Date new versions published
October 2007
Planned review date
December 2012
Summary of review and consultation
process
This unit
standard has been reviewed as part of an overall review of the National
Certificate in Electricity Supply Cable Jointer qualifications. The industry steering group convened to
undertake this review agreed that the NCES Cable Jointer Level 3 and Level 4
qualifications should be made distinctly low voltage (Level 3), and high voltage
(Level 4). Currently unit standard 18029 is in the NCES Cable Jointer Level 3
and covers both low and high voltage operations. In order to make the required distinction
between the two qualifications, two new standards have been drafted to replace
18029: 23898 to cover low voltage operations, and 23899 to cover high voltage
operations. Standard 23898 will
replace 18029 in the NCES Cable Jointer Level 3, while 23899 will be introduced
to the NCES Cable Jointer Level 4. These new standards negate the need for
18029 which is therefore to be expired.
Main changes resulting from the
review
· Standard 18029 to be expired and replaced by two new standards.
· Two additional standards have been developed at the same time as the review.
·
Unit standards categorised as category C
expire at the end of December 2009.
