The Electricity Supply Industry Training Organisation has completed the review of the unit standard listed above.

 

Date new versions published                                                          March 2009

 

Planned review date                                                                           December 2012

 

Summary of review and consultation process

 

Following feedback from industry, this unit standard was reviewed and amended to reflect the fact that polarity tests are not conducted on high voltage electricity networks.  Polarity testing was removed from the unit standard which now just covers phasing tests.

 

Main changes resulting from the review

 

·         Title, purpose statement and element updated to remove references to polarity testing.

·         Special notes updated to reflect current guidelines and legislation.
