Summary

 

The review of these unit standards was initiated during the early review of the cable jointing qualifications, when the relevance and completion of the qualifications were considered by industry stakeholders.

 

The outcomes from the unit standards were reviewed and amendments were made to meet the needs for the cable jointers within the electricity supply industry.

 

Main changes

 

·      Unit 20069 was amended to suit assessment in a simulated environment using 3-Core 11kV cables.  Credits for this standard were increased following amendments made to the EEA guidelines for live line work.

·      Unit 20070 was designated expiring as live work on paper cabling networks is not required.

·      Unit 20535 had changes made to the Guidance Information section and its title.

 

The last date for assessment of the superseded versions of these Category B unit standards is 31 December 2019.
