The Skills Organisation has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published October 2017
Planned review date December 2022
Summary
The review of these standards was initiated following the listing of Level 4 New Zealand Certificates in Plumbing, in Gasfitting, and in Drainlaying, to ensure that they are fit for purpose, relevant to the Plumbing, Gasfitting, and Drainlaying (PGD) sectors and are readily available for assessment. Industry representatives from the PGD Sector Review and Qualification Development Groups were involved in the review and writing of these unit standards and provided feedback on the unit standards.
The review included one asbestos-related unit standard. This unit standard is intended to be used across a wide range of industries, including PGD.
Main changes
· Changes were made to accurately reflect sector terminology, changing trade practices, and emerging materials.
· Nine unit standards were reviewed as Category C and replaced by 16 new standards.
· Five new unit standards were developed, one of which was listed under the Hazardous Substances and Materials.
Category C unit standards will expire at the end of December 2022
