The Infrastructure Industry Training Organisation has completed the review, revision and rollover of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published March 2017
Planned review date (reviewed standards) December 2021
Planned review date (revised standard) December 2018
Summary
Gazetted coverage of the Water Industry, including Water Reticulation, was transferred to Infrastructure ITO in May 2015. Review of the unit standards had been due, but this and the transfer of responsibility was delayed due to the Targeted Review of Qualifications (TRoQ). Two further Infrastructure Works and Civil Works and Services unit standards had been identified by industry as relevant for inclusion in this review.
In 2016, a Water Reticulation/Infrastructure Working Group comprised of industry experts and tertiary providers met to review the structure, levels, credits, and content of the unit standards to update and align with current industry practice. The draft unit standards were then circulated to wider industry including industry peak bodies, wastewater treatment plant staff, providers, and district and regional councils for further consultation and feedback.
Some unit standards in Water Reticulation had been marked as a priority for review due to age or their inclusion in programmes under development, and were reviewed earlier in 2016. This review includes the remainder of Water Reticulation unit standards, and one Wastewater Treatment unit standard which had been missed from a previous revision.
Main changes
· Titles, purpose statements, explanatory notes, outcome statements and evidence requirements were updated to reflect current industry practice and to remove overly-prescriptive range statements or assessment requirements where possible.
· Levels and credits were adjusted to accurately reflect content.
· Four new standards were developed to address emerging skills and identified gaps within the current suite.
· One standard was designated expiring and replaced by three new standards to more accurately reflect demarcation of roles within the industry.
· One standard was moved from the subfield/domain Civil Works and Services > Civil Infrastructure Health, Safety, and Environment to Infrastructure Works > Infrastructure Works Health, Safety, and Environment.
· One Wastewater Treatment standard was revised and rolled over to update legislation until a full review can be conducted in 2018.
· A last date for assessment of superseded versions of the Category B reviewed standards and the revised and rolled-over standard was specified. Results will not be accepted where the assessment date is after the last date for assessment of the superseded version of the standard.
The Category C unit standard will expire at the end of December 2018

Impact on Consent and Moderation Requirements (CMR)
Reviewed standards from the Water Industry subfield were transferred from CMR 0179 to CMR 0101, meaning that all standards in this report are now covered by CMR 0101.
