Summary of review and consultation process

 

The review of these unit standards resulted from the industry drive, initiated in 2006, to update the National Diploma in Compliance and Regulatory Control with strands in Building Inspection, and Plumbing and Drainlaying Inspection, and an optional strand in Specialist Inspection [Ref: 0421], registered in March 2003.

 

A Sector Expert Panel was convened and a new qualification package including component unit standards was drafted.  The draft package was posted on the Building Officials Institute of New Zealand (BOINZ) website and introduced to the sector at ten regional workshops.  Following the consultation phase the package was endorsed by both the Sector Expert Panel and the Sector Steering Group.
