Date new versions published                                                          March 2011

 

Planned review date                                                                           December 2015

 

Summary

 

Competenz completed the review of these unit standards in consultation with assessors, moderators, and providers that use the unit standards.  Consultation was conducted via an online survey, emails, and ongoing electronic feedback on the unit standards.

 

The purpose of the review was to ensure that the unit standards continued to meet industry requirements.

 

The majority of the reviewed unit standards were considered fit for purpose.  Some unit standards with very low usage (unit standards 4807, 4808, 19508, and 20301) were designated as expiring and will not be replaced.  The remainder of the unit standards were updated to meet current industry requirements.

 

Main changes

 

·         The titles of unit standards 4804-4806 were updated.

·         The level of unit standard 20298 increased from Level 1 to Level 2.

·         Unit standards 4807, 4808, 19508, and 20301 were designated as expiring and will not be replaced.

·         An outcome (previously element 1) that was included in unit standards 4804, 4805, 4806, 4809, 4810, 4811, 4813, 4814, and 19507 was removed because it was unnecessary to repeat assessment against it: Respond to hazards and emergencies for product inspection, handling, packaging, and labelling in a manufacturing environment.

·         The explanatory notes (previously special notes) for each unit standard were updated and made consistent.

 

Category D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2013
