The review of glass and glazing unit standards in the General Glass and Glazing and Flat Glass domains followed the qualification reviews of New Zealand Certificate in Glass (Level 3) [Ref: 2944], New Zealand Certificate in Glazing (Level 4) [Ref: 2945], New Zealand Certificate in Glass Processing (Level 4) [Ref: 2946], and New Zealand Certificate in Automotive Reglazing (Level 4) [Ref: 2947] in 2021.  Glass and glazing industry organisations, subject matter experts and training providers were consulted via email, online and face to face meetings for this review. Organisations with consent to assess and Hanga Aro Rau Manufacturing Workforce Development Council were consulted during this review.
