The Electricity Supply Industry Training Organisation (ESITO) has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published December 2011
Planned review date December 2015
Summary
These unit standards were reviewed to ensure that they remained relevant to the electricity supply industry. Industry representatives participated in the review and assessors were asked to feedback about unit standards against which they had assessed.
Two of the unit standards were designated as expiring because of low usage. One unit standard was designated as expiring because its outcomes duplicated those of another registered unit standard.
The format and terminology of the reviewed unit standards were updated to reflect the introduction of the Quality assurance criteria for the listing of unit standards on the Directory of Assessment Standards in August 2010. The changes to terminology are:
The reviewed unit standards also include last dates for the assessment of previous versions of the unit standards.
Main changes
· Unit standard 14280 was expired because of duplication with unit standard 14297.
· Unit standards 14282 and 14284 were designated as expiring because of low usage.
· Unit standard 14297 moved from the Electricity Supply - Design and Commissioning domain to the Electricity Supply - Testing domain.
· The titles of unit standards 14271, 14273, 14274, 14275, 14276, 14285, 14291, and 14297 were updated.
· Outcome statements, range statements, and purpose statements were updated.
Category D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2013
