The ElectroTechnology Industry Training Organisation (ETITO) has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published August 2009
Planned review date December 2015
Summary of review and consultation process
Meetings involving ETITO, industry representatives, and other key stakeholders were convened through 2008 and 2009 to undertake the review of Industrial Measurement and Control unit standards that comprise the National Certificate in Industrial Measurement and Control (Level 5) [Ref: 0976].
The consultation groups considered the following:
· the currency of the unit standards and their suitability for existing and future qualifications
· the appropriateness of unit standards to their domain
· the assessability of the unit standards
· the accuracy and appropriateness of their content for existing and future skill needs
· levels and credits match the performance outcomes and training needs
· any skill and/or knowledge gaps that could be captured through the review of existing unit standards or the development of new unit standards.
Main changes resulting from the review
· Purpose statements were amended to accommodate changes to the elements.
· Special notes were amended to updated references and legislation.
· Elements and performance criteria were amended to improve clarity and consistency and bring the unit standards up to date.
· Range statements were amended to clarify evidence requirements.
· Four new unit standards (25885-25888) were developed.
· Unit standards 19236-19240, and 19242-19246 were designated category D.
Unit standards categorised as category D expire at the end of December 2012.
Impact on existing provider accreditations
None.
Impact on Accreditation and Moderation Action Plan (AMAP)
AMAP 0003 has been updated to reflect the changes.
Impact on existing qualifications
Qualifications that contain the reviewed standards or classifications are tabled below.
|
Affected |
The qualification lists a reviewed classification (domain or subfield) in an elective set The qualification lists a standard that has changes to level or credits The qualification lists a C or D category standard |
|
Not materially affected |
The qualification lists a standard that has a new title The qualification lists a standard that has a new classification |
The following ETITO qualification is affected by the outcome of this review and will be revised in 2009. The items that generated the affected status are listed in bold.

Review Categories and changes to classification, title, level, and credits
The following summary shows the changes made to the standards as a result of the review. All changes are in bold. For D category unit standards, suggested alternatives are in italics, where appropriate.
|
Key to review category |
| |
|
A |
Dates changed, but no other changes are made - the new version of the standard carries the same Id and a new version number | |
|
B |
Changes made, but the overall outcome remains the same - the new version of the standard carries the same Id and a new version number | |
|
C |
Major changes that necessitate the registration of a replacement standard with a new Id | |
|
D |
Standard will expire and not be replaced | |
