Summary

 

Standards were mandated for review. Minor editions were made to reflect changes in legislation and work documentation. The interim drafts were placed on a media platform and interested parties including providers and industry representatives were invited to comment and suggest improvements. Any suitable amendments were included in the drafts and final versions were agreed to. This process took more than six months to allow for maximum opportunity for feedback.

 

Main changes

 

·      References in Guidance information updated where required.

·      Ranges changed from specific to recommendatory to facilitate achievability.

·      Requirement to be assessed against “establishment requirements” shifted to Guidance information, where generally applicable for ease of interpretation for assessment.

·      The use of “cell-based meat, or meat substitute” introduced to unit standards with performance criteria specific to service of meat dishes to ease achievability in a vegetarian context.

·      The titles of unit standards 14420 and 27939 were amended to accurately reflect the content.

·      Unit standard 17283 increased in number of credits to accurately represent learning required.

·      The verb “explained” was replaced by “described” in performance criteria of unit standards 17283, 17284, 17285, 17288 and 22267 to clearly align to the level of the standards.

·      The verb “explain” was replaced by “describe” in outcomes of unit standards 17286, 17287 and 17288 for ease of assessment.

 

The last date for assessment of superseded versions of Category B unit standards is December 2023
