MITO New Zealand Incorporated (MITO) has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.  Unit standards in italics are coversheet standards.

 

Date new versions published                                                               March 2020

 

Summary

 

MITO undertook analysis of currently listed Extractive Industries 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.

 

Main changes

 

·      42 standards were set to expire without replacement.

 

These Category D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2020
