Summary

 

These unit standards were reviewed to ensure they remain relevant to industry and as part of ESITO's planned review cycle.  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 website.  As a result of industry and assessor feedback legislation and terminology were updated.  In addition, some standards were expired due to very low usage.
