MITO New Zealand Incorporated (MITO) has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published March 2020
Planned review date December 2024
Summary
MITO undertook analysis of currently listed Gas Industry unit standards 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 standards as they no longer align with industry need.
MITO also developed one new unit standard at the request of industry to meet the requirements of the New Zealand Certificate in Reticulated Gas Pipelines (Level 3) [Ref: 3591]. This standard development was supported by the Gas Industry Reference Group including subject matter experts, trainers, employers and MITO representatives. The standard was circulated to the working group’s networks, and a consultation period was held. Feedback received was actioned where appropriate.
Main changes
· 26 standards were set to expire without replacement.
· One new standard was developed to meet the needs of industry.
Category D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2020
