Competenz has completed the reinstatement and review of the unit standard above.

 

Date new versions published                                                          July 2013

 

Planned review date                                                                           December 2018

                                                                                                                 

Summary

 

The unit standard above was designated expiring in March 2011 with the last date for assessment set at 31 December 2015.  A decision was made to reinstate the standard because it is recommended skills and knowledge for entry to unit standard 28023.  Subsequent to the decision to reinstate, this standard was reviewed. 

 

In early 2012 the industry identified a gap in higher level knowledge and application of skills in hydraulic components and systems for engineering maintenance personnel.  Following extensive consultation and consideration of feedback from industry experts, unit standard 28023 was developed.

 

The industry endorsed the reinstatement and review of standard 2727 and development of standard 28023 in April 2013.

 

Main changes

 

·      Evidence requirements were amended to clarify meaning and current consent to assess information was updated on reinstated standard 2727.

·      The critical health and safety prerequisite unit standard 20613 was updated to include the current version title.

·      Unit standard 28023 was developed.
