The NZ Motor Industry Training Organisation (Inc) (MITO) has completed the review of the standards listed above.
As part of the development of new qualifications for the resource recovery industry, MITO’s Resource Recovery Governance and Working Group reviewed the standards listed above.
The review of these standards resulted in updated outcomes and evidence requirements that reflect current industry practice. The review also re-aligned the levels to ensure they reflect the NZQF level descriptors, and to ensure they will accord rationally with the Graduate Profile Outcomes in the New Zealand qualifications.
The Governance and Working Group has endorsed the changes made to the standards, and the expiry of standards 22637 and 24253.
Standard 22655 was moved from the Scrap Metal Recycling domain to the Resource Recovery Operations domain.
The levels for standards 22632 and 23581 were changed to better align with the NZQF level descriptors.
The titles of standards 22648, 22655, 22656, 23317, and 23564 were changed to reflect changes made to their content.
Standard 24253 was designated expiring as it is no longer fit-for-purpose within the New Zealand resource recovery environment.
Standard 22637 was designated expiring and replaced by standard 28744.
Five new standards were developed.
Explanatory note references and hyperlinks were updated for currency.
Purpose statements, explanatory notes, outcomes, evidence requirements, and range statements were updated to ensure they are fit for purpose and to ensure clarity for users.
The last date for assessment of superseded versions of these standards is 31 December 2017. Results will not be accepted where the assessment date is after the last date for assessment of the superseded version of the standard.
