The NZ Extractive Industries Training Organisation (EXITO) has completed the review and rollover of the unit standards listed above. The standard in bold has been rolled over.
Date new versions published October 2012
Planned review date July 2017
Summary
The planned review of these standards in 2011 took into account feedback that arose from revising EXITO assessor guides. This feedback was considered at a meeting of industry advisors in June 2010. The review included a meeting of industry experts in April 2011 and a further meeting in September 2011 with additional stakeholders. The reviewers considered each standard for currency and relevance of references, reasonableness for assessment, accuracy and relevance of content, clarity of wording, and coverage. They also looked at levels and credits being commensurate with outcomes, standards reflecting industry best practice, suitability for use in existing and proposed qualifications, and removal of overlapping evidence requirements. The review focussed on maintaining the currency of the standards prior to the targeted review of Blaster Coating qualifications scheduled for 2013. Two standards required for the current qualifications but expected to be replaced by generic standards when the qualifications are reviewed, were designated expiring without replacement. Draft versions of the reviewed standards were made widely available for feedback on the EXITO website. Following amendments the updated drafts were approved by the Blaster Coating Industry Advisory Group as appropriate for the sector.
Rollover of Blaster Coating unit standard 13444
Because of the low use of unit standard 13444 and the unavailability of key stakeholders for this review this standard was rolled over for informed consideration at a later date.

Review of Blaster Coating unit standards
Main changes
· Standard 17546 has moved to the domain relevant to its content - Protective Coating.
· Titles of standards 17520, 17521, 17523, 17524, 17526, 17528, 17531, 17532, 17537, 17541, 17542, 17544, 17546, 17547, and 23539 have been amended to better reflect the significant outcomes of each standard and to link to their respective domains.
· Level of standard 17523 has decreased to better reflect the content of the standard.
· Credits for standards 17521, 17524, 17526, 17528, and 17537 have decreased and for standard 17525 increased to better reflect the time required for achievement of the standard.
· Purpose statements have been updated to match amended outcomes and target group information has been added to standard 17521.
· Entry information has been updated as required and added to standard 17547; removed from standards 17523, 17524, 17531, and 17541; and amended in standards 17520, 17521, 17532, and 17543.
· Explanatory notes have been refined to assist consistent assessment and relevant references have been updated.
· Definitions have been clarified and made consistent with other unit standards.
· Where required outcomes and evidence requirements have been reworded to match the titles, to clarify interpretation, and to maintain consistency of style.
· Standard 17545 has been replaced by new unit standards 27776 and 27777 to remove restrictions on achievement.
· Standards 17534 and 17535 have been designated for expiry because they overlap other unit standards.
Category C and D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2014
