Review of Electricity Supply - Power System Maintenance unit standard 21230

 

This review report was first published in November 2009 and was republished in October 2010 to correct an error in the replacement relationship between standard 21230 and standards 26019 and 26020.  Standard 21230 was only replaced by standard 26020, not by a combination of standards 26019 and 26020.  Standards 26019 and 26020 have been revised to reflect this replacement relationship - see separate report.
