Summary

 

At an earlier review in 2015, unit standard 28633 was developed and considered a replacement for unit standards 25946 and 25947.  Seafood industry stakeholders were not consulted during this review and consider that 28633 is not an appropriate replacement for seafood-specific unit standards 25946 and 25947 as the content of 28633 does not encompass the content of the replaced standards.

 

As a result of feedback from industry, the following changes have been made to unit standards.

 

Main changes

 

·      Unit standards 25946 and 25947 were reinstated with amendments.

·      Unit standard 28633 was revised to remove replacement information relating to unit standards 25946 and 25947, and update legislation.  It will be reviewed as planned in 2020.

 

The last date for assessment of superseded versions of Category B unit standards is 31 December 2020
