Summary

 

These standards were reviewed in February-March 2023 as part of their regular quality-assurance cycle.  The panel from the 2021 review of other standards in these Subfields also conducted this review, supported by stakeholders who were extensively consulted by email.

 

Main changes

 

·      A reference to Aromatawai and the Principles of Assessment was added to standard 4098.

·      Editing changes were made in standard 4098 to clarify and simplify the content.

·      All the standards reviewed, except 4098, will expire due to low usage and no discernible interest in future usage.

 

Category D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2025

 

The last date for assessment of superseded versions of Category B unit standard 4098 is December 2025 (versions 5-7) or 2026 (versions 8 and 9)
