The MITO New Zealand Incorporated has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published March 2021
Summary
MITO New Zealand Incorporated undertook analysis of currently listed Solid Waste unit standards and identified a number that are no longer being used and have not been awarded in four years or longer. Consideration was given to whether the unit standards should be re-registered or expired. The decision was made to expire these unit standards as they no longer align with industry need.
Main changes
· All standards were designated to expiring without replacement.
These Category D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2023
