·      Level of unit standard19479 increased from 3 to 4 for using specialist equipment.

·      One new unit standard was developed for distribution network control as the Network Control role holder works in energy distribution.

 

The last date for assessment of the superseded versions of the Category B standards is 31 December 2019
