The Electricity Supply Industry Training Organisation has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published November 2010
Planned review date December 2015
Summary
These unit standards were reviewed to ensure they remained relevant to industry. 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. No feedback was received for many of the standards and due to little or no usage it was considered that these standards were no longer required. Legislation and terminology were updated for the remaining registered standards. As standards 19483 and 19484 were the only remaining standards in the Electricity Supply - Business Services domain, they were transferred to the Electricity Supply - Power System Management domain and the Electricity Supply - Business Services domain was designated expiring.
Main changes
· Explanatory notes were updated.
· Standards 6974, 6976, 6977, 6980-6983, 10396, 10399, 10401, 10407, 10417-10419, 10422-10424, 12389, 14296, 17633-17635, 19326, 19475, 19476, and 19842 were designated expiring.
· Standards 19483 and 19484 were reclassified from the Electricity Supply - Business Services domain to the Electricity Supply - Power System Management domain.
· Electricity Supply - Business Services domain was designated expiring.
Category D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2012
