Date new versions published                                                               March 2020

 

Planned review date                                                                              December 2022

 

Summary

 

Review of standards in line with planned review date has resulted in updates to performance criteria, some references and changes to some terminology used.  Relevant stakeholders were consulted to confirm the new references are accurate.

 

Main changes

 

·      References to Licensed plumber/gasfitter/drainlayer were changed to Tradesman plumber/gasfitter/drainlayer to align with the Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers (PGD) Board’s changed terminology.

·      References to all legislation, regulations, codes and standards were reviewed and updated to reflect new titles, publication dates, and/or web links.

·      Performance criteria were amended to clearly specify requirements for assessment.

·      Next review date was set for 2022, rather than 2025, to align with the review date on the remainder of the Level 4 unit standards in the Plumbing, Gasfitting, and Drainlaying domains.

·      Unit standards were updated using the latest template.
