All worksite procedures must meet recognised codes of practice such as the Code of
Practice for Health and Safety in the Manufacture of Composites Based on Synthetic
Resins (Fibreglass), Composites Association of New Zealand, 1998. This code, and
other relevant codes of practice, are available from the Composites Association of
New Zealand, PO Box 75 345, Manurewa, Manukau 2243, or at
http://www.osh.dol.govt.nz/order/catalogue/composites.shtml. They include
obligations required under current legislation. All worksite procedures must also
meet documented worksite safety procedures (where these exceed the code) for
personal, product and worksite safety.

Please note
Providers must be granted consent to assess against standards (accredited) by NZQA, or
an inter-institutional body with delegated authority for quality assurance, before they can
report credits from assessment against unit standards or deliver courses of study leading
to that assessment.
Industry Training Organisations must be granted consent to assess against standards by
NZQA before they can register credits from assessment against unit standards.
Providers and Industry Training Organisations, which have been granted consent and
which are assessing against unit standards must engage with the moderation system that
applies to those standards.
Consent requirements and an outline of the moderation system that applies to this
standard are outlined in the Accreditation and Moderation Action Plan (AMAP). The
AMAP also includes useful information about special requirements for organisations
wishing to develop education and training programmes, such as minimum qualifications for
tutors and assessors, and special resource requirements.
