Summary
These Quality Management unit standards were reviewed as part of their scheduled review plan. All stakeholders were informed of the review and invited to participate.
A representative review panel of stakeholders was convened, and their draft outcomes were supported by ongoing reference to the stakeholder network, and through the formal consultation process.
Main changes
· Standards 7459, 7460, 8073, 8076, 8078, 8081, 8082, 8088, 8089, 8502, and 20849 were designated expiring due to low and/or declining usage.
· Standard 8077 was designated expiring without replacement. However, Unit 9681, Contribute within a team or group which has an objective could be used instead.
· Standard 8074 was replaced by a new standard.
· Standards 8084, 8085, 8086, 8087, and 19025:
- were extensively simplified to include just one outcome, without compromising the content
- were more closely aligned to external reference material, including relevant AS/NZS ISO standards.
· Titles of some standards were amended to more accurately reflect the intended focus.
· Credits for standard 32137, which replaced 8074, and standard 190525 were reduced to more accurately reflect the time demands for candidates.
Category C and D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2022
