Summary

Industry feedback indicated that some terminology in these standards had been used incorrectly and, therefore, was leading to confusion and inconsistent interpretation during assessment design.

Standards 31722, 31723, 31725 and 31726 were revised to clarify language and intent.

Main changes

· Titles, outcomes and performance criteria were amended to remove reference to ‘multi-pod’, therefore, removing barriers to assessment and aligning with current industry practice.
