Meetings involving Competenz and industry representatives considered the feedback and endorsed the changes in August 2009.
Main changes

· Purpose statements amended to accommodate changes to the elements.
· Special notes updated to better convey assessment parameters, including clearer definitions, updated references to legislation, and clarification of the breath and depth of evidence required to demonstrate competence.
