The Electricity Supply Industry Training
Organisation (ESITO) has rolled over and revised the unit standards listed
above. Standard 16283 (in bold) has only been
revised.
Date new versions published
October 2007
Planned review date
December 2010
Reason for the
revision
Amendments have
been made to these unit standards in conjunction with an overall review of the
National Certificate in Electricity Supply Line Mechanic qualifications. All
standards have been updated to reflect changes in legislation, and some
standards have had changes made to titles and content as a result of the review
of the qualifications. These changes have been made to more accurately align the
standards with the skills required by Line Mechanics.
Standard 18272, originally part of this revision and rollover, has been withdrawn for further review.
Main changes resulting from the
revision
· Special notes have been updated
· Titles have been changed (standards 10510, 10549, 16278, 18031, 19950)
· Elements have been added or altered (standard 18031)
· Range statements have been added or altered (standards 10510, 10549, 10526, 17027, 19950)
· Performance Criteria have been added or altered (standards 10510, 10526,10549, 16278, 18029, 18031, 18272, 19950, 20423)
· Changes have been made to entry information (standards 17027, 18031, 12298)
· Credit value for standard 18031 has increased from 6 to 8.
