Summary

 

These unit standards were reviewed as part of a comprehensive review of qualifications, programmes, and unit standards relating to the Civil sector of the infrastructure industry.  The standards were reviewed in groups according to the programmes for which they are intended.

 

The review took place between March 2017 and July 2018 and involved Working Groups from the Pipelines and Trenchless Technologies sectors of the industry.  Working Group meetings were held in June, September, and October 2017, February 2018, and August 2018, and drafts were circulated among the working group and a wider industry consultation group in August 2018.

·      Standard 20484 increased by 5 credits to align with the credit values of other unit standards covering similar skills and knowledge in operating plant and was updated to meet current industry need.

·      24919 was designated expiring without formal replacement.  Two unit standards were recommended as alternatives.

 

Category D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2021

 

The last date for assessment of superseded versions of Category B unit standards is December 2021
