Summary

Unit standards 1258, 24567 and 6920 were reviewed in 2020, however errors were noted on publication and the units have been revised to correct these. Unit standard 26175 was reviewed in 2021, but has been reinstated to be used in the delivery of the New Zealand Certificate in Pork Production (Sector Management) (Level 4) [Ref: 2524]. Further amendments suggested by industry to selected unit standards were made to ensure they are fit for purpose.
