Summary

 

MITO New Zealand Incorporated undertook analysis of currently listed Metalliferous Mining unit standard coversheets and unit standard 8920 and identified a number that are no longer being used and have not been awarded in four years or longer. The decision was made to expire these units as they no longer align with industry need.

 

Main changes

 

 

These Category D units will expire at the end of December 2019
