The New Zealand Industry Training Organisation has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.

Date new versions published July 2011

Planned review date December 2016

Summary

The Meat Industry Advisory Group, made up of industry representatives and training providers, met in August and September 2010 to review a number of the unit standards in the Meat Processing and Leather Manufacturing subfields because they had either reached their planned review date or were no longer considered fit for purpose.

As a result of the review the Meat Industry - Further Processing domain has been split into three additional domains (Meat Industry - Freezers and Chillers, Meat Industry - Packaging, Meat Industry - Cooked Meat Products) and an additional new domain (Meat Industry - Rendering) has been created. Unit standards in the Meat Industry - Further Processing domain have been amended to take this change into account. The domain changes were endorsed by the Advisory Group in March 2011.

Main changes

· A number of standards from the Meat Industry - Further Processing domain have been moved into three new domains.

· Changes to titles for unit standards 20225, 20230, 20231, and 20233.

· Decrease in credits from 5 to 4 for unit standard 20231.
