Listing assessment standards on the Directory of Assessment Standards
Standard-setting bodies (SSBs) are responsible for the quality of assessment standards submitted to Approvals and Accreditation for listing on the Directory of Assessment Standards (DAS).
Assessment standards include achievement and unit standards.
Rules and guidelines
Standards are listed on the DAS in accordance with the Directory of Assessment Standards Listing and Operational Rules 2021 using information provided in the Guidelines for listing assessment standards and consent and moderation requirements on the Directory of Assessment Standards (PDF, 412KB).
Unit standard review support package
A review support package is available on request from Client Services if a standard-setting body is planning a review of unit standards.
We recommend that you request this information well before you plan to start consultation.
The review support package consists of:
- Electronic versions of the unit standards to be reviewed
- Qualification Impact Report - an Excel workbook with spreadsheets of NZQF national qualifications that might be affected by the review:
- By specific unit standards
- By the subfields or domains in elective sets
- Provider Impact Report - a text file that lists all organisations that have consent to assess against the standards that might be affected by the review:
- Field
- Subfield
- Domain
- Specific unit standard
- Draft Change Report, with current unit standard details in the summary table. For a copy of these review reports see Qualifications and assessment standards approvals.

Applying to list assessment standards
To apply to list standards submit an application online using the “Other” category and write in the type of application (e.g. assessment standard).

An application may be for new or reviewed standards.
If the standard has been reviewed a completed assessment standard change report (DOC, 54KB), outlining the changes must be submitted and will be published with the current version of the standard template (DOCX, 23KB).
