Summary

Main changes

 

·         Changes were made to the explanatory notes, evidence requirements and range statements of the unit standards for clarity and to ensure alignment with relevant industry standards and regulations.

·         Unit standard 28899 was set to expiring and is being replaced by unit standard 30223.

·         Unit standard 28902 had changes made to the title, outcomes and evidence requirements to make the unit standards theory-based only.

·         Unit standard 28904 was increased by 10 credits to better reflect the time required to complete the unit standard.

·         Unit standard 30222 was created as industry identified a gap in the required knowledge for the industry.

The last date for assessment of superseded versions of Category B unit standards is December 2019
