Reason for the republication

 

EXITO republished this qualification in order to include reverse transition arrangements for expiring standard 20732 in versions 6 and 7.

 

Standard 20732 has been replaced by standards 25876 and 25877 and will expire at the end of December 2011.  As people working towards versions 6 or 7 of this qualification have until 31 December 2013 to complete the qualification requirements they can use one of the replacement standards, 25876, to meet requirements of 20732.
