Summary

 

These unit standards were revised prior to the imminent review of the National Certificate in Composites (Level 4) [Ref: 0121].  The responsibility for Industrial Composites and Production Composites domains had been recently transferred from Competenz to the Boating Industry Training Organisation.  Adjustment of domain and titles of unit standards was required so standards could be used in both boatbuilding and composite contexts and to avoid duplication.  The revision also provides clarification of terminology and calibration between standards.

 

The changes were made as part of the planning and consultation for the review of the National Certificate in Composites (Level 4) [Ref: 0121].

 

Main changes

 

·         Titles and elements were altered to broaden the suitability of standards for use in boatbuilding and composite contexts.

·         Terminology was clarified for the related but distinctly different processes: resin injection, infusion, resin transfer moulding (RTM) and RTM light.

·         Standards 23036 and 23254 have changed subfield and domain.

 

Last date for assessment for versions 1-3 of unit standards 3172, 3173, and 3182 is 31 December 2012

 

Impact on existing accreditations

 

Current Accreditation for			Accreditation extended to
Nature of accreditation	Classification	Level	Nature of accreditation	ID	Level

Domain	Boatbuilding	4	Standards	23036, 23254	4

 

Impact on registered qualifications

 

Key to type of impact
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 Boating Industry Training Organisation qualification is not materially affected by the outcome of this revision and will be updated when it is revised or reviewed in 2015.  The standards that generated the status are listed in bold.
