The New Zealand Industry Training Organisation has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.

 

Date new versions published                                                 March 2010

 

Planned review date                                                                  December 2015

 

Summary of review and consultation process

 

These standards were reviewed as a prelude to re-registering the meat processing qualifications as new versions.

 

Feedback from AsureQuality, independent training providers, assessors and key industry experts indicated that the current meat industry standards needed to be rationalised to better meet the skill sets required by compliance staff in the industry.

 

The Meat Industry acknowledges that Codes of Practice are under development at the New Zealand Food Safety Authority (NZFSA) and that they will replace the current Meat Industry Standards (MIS) in the future.  Once the Codes of Practice have been approved by industry and NZFSA these standards will be subject to a further review.

 

Main changes resulting from the review

 

·         Changes were made to the elements, purpose statements, special notes, and range statements of a number of standards for clarity and consistency.

·         Eight new replacement standards were developed.

·         The level of standard 17689 increased from 3 to 4.

 

Unit standards categorised as category C expire at the end of December 2011.
