MITO New Zealand Incorporated (trading as MITO) has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.

Date new versions published March 2021

Planned review date December 2025

Summary

MITO reviewed motor industry unit standards to ensure they are fit-for-purpose for the industry sectors.

MITO was supported by the motor industry’s working groups including subject matter experts and MITO representatives. The standards were circulated to the working groups’ networks, and a consultation period was held. Feedback received was actioned where appropriate.

Main changes

· Purpose statements, guidance information, references, outcomes, performance criteria, and range statements were amended to ensure they are accurate and fit for purpose, reflect the standard content and to ensure clarity for users.

· Titles were amended for some standards to better reflect outcomes.

The last date for assessment of superseded versions of Category B unit standards is December 2022
