The Electricity Supply Industry Training Organisation has completed the revision of the unit standards listed above. The unit standard in bold has also been rolled over to maintain its currency until it is reviewed.
Date new versions published May 2010
Planned review date December 2014
Summary
Amendments have been made to these unit standards in conjunction with an overall review of the National Certificate in Electricity Supply (Line Mechanic Distribution Live Work) (Level 5) [Ref: 1119]. Although these standards were reviewed recently the industry steering group convened to review the qualification determined that some additional minor revisions were required to reflect the voltages line mechanics work up to and some practices they undertake. They also decided the level of two standards should be reduced to better reflect the type of work undertaken.
Main changes
· Titles of standards 10531, 10535, and 10540 have been updated.
· Levels of standards 10531 and 10535 have been reduced from 5 to 4.
· The voltages line mechanics work up to when using live line hot sticks have been updated in the titles and elements of standards 10531 and 10535.
· Element 2 and related performance criteria of standard 10542 have been updated to better align with the knowledge outcome of the standard.
· Range statements have been altered to remove unnecessary restrictions (standards 10538, 10542, and 24746).
· Performance criteria have been altered to better reflect industry requirements for line mechanics (standard 10536).
· Entry information has been updated (standards 10535-10537, 10540-10542).
Impact on existing accreditations
None.
Impact on Accreditation and Moderation Action Plan (AMAP)
