The Electricity Supply Industry Training Organisation has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published December 2009
Planned review date December 2014
Summary of review and consultation process
These unit standards have been reviewed to ensure they remain relevant to industry. Industry was invited to participate in the review and assessors were asked to comment on those standards they had assessed against. A notification of the standards being reviewed was also posted on the ESITO web site. As a result of industry and assessor feedback legislation and terminology have been updated. In addition some standards have been expired due to very low usage.
Main changes resulting from the review
· Special notes updated.
