NZQA registered unit standard 22739 version 3 Page 1 of 4 Title Demonstrate intermediate knowledge of emerging or new electrotechnology products or systems Level 5 Purpose Credits 15 This unit standard is intended to cover emerging or new products or services in all areas of electrotechnology engineering to an intermediate level. People credited with this unit standard are able to: – demonstrate intermediate knowledge of legislation that affects electrotechnology industry product and system changes and development; – analyse and explain current developments in new or emerging electrotechnology products or systems to an intermediate level; and – demonstrate intermediate knowledge of practical applications for a new or emerging electrotechnology product or system. Classification Electrical Engineering > Electrotechnology Available grade Achieved Explanatory notes 1 This unit standard is intended for use in engineering courses at diploma level. 2 This unit standard is one of three designed to cover knowledge of new and emerging electrotechnology engineering products and systems, the others being Unit 22737, Demonstrate introductory knowledge of emerging or new electrotechnology products or systems; and Unit 22741, Demonstrate advanced knowledge of emerging or new electrotechnology products or systems. There is no requirement that credit for unit standard 22737 be gained before assessment against this unit standard is attempted. People who have gained credits for the other unit standards must select a different new or emerging electrotechnology product or system when being assessed against this unit standard. 3 References Copyright Act 1994; Designs Act 1953; Health and Safety in Employment Act 1992; Patents Act 1953; Patents Act 2013; Trade Marks Act 2002; and all subsequent amendments and replacements.

Industry practice – practice used and recommended by organisations involved in the electrotechnology industry. Intermediate knowledge – means employing a broad knowledge base, with substantial depth in some areas of the subject matter, to analyse and interpret a wide range of information. New electrotechnology product or system – a product or system that is widely available and used that was developed in the last two to three years. Organisational requirements – may include but are not limited to documented procedures and/or specifications relating to processes, practices and activities within the training organisation as well as oral instructions from authorised organisation representatives. 5 All measurements are to be expressed in Système International (SI) units, and, where required, converted from Imperial units into SI units. 6 All activities must comply with: any policies, procedures, and requirements of the organisations involved; the standards of relevant professional bodies; and any relevant legislative and/or regulatory requirements. 7 Range Performance in relation to the outcomes of this unit standard must comply with the Health and Safety in Employment Act 1992. Outcomes and evidence requirements Outcome 1 Demonstrate intermediate knowledge of legislation that affects electrotechnology industry product and system changes and development. Evidence requirements 1.1 Effects of legislation on electrotechnology product and system development are explained in accordance with industry practice. Range includes but is not limited to – safety, environment, economy. Outcome 2 Analyse and explain current developments in new or emerging electrotechnology products or systems to an intermediate level. The Skills Organisation SSB Code 100401 New Zealand Qualifications Authority 2016 NZQA registered unit standard 22739 version 3 Page 3 of 4 Evidence requirements 2.1 Implications of current developments for a particular electrotechnology industry sector and the impact on other sectors both within and external to the electrotechnology industry are analysed and explained in accordance with organisational requirements. Range social, economic, environmental, political, infrastructural, product quality. Evidence of four required. Outcome 3 Demonstrate intermediate knowledge of practical applications for a new or emerging electrotechnology product or system. Evidence requirements 3.1 The objectives, functions, value, and practical applications of the electrotechnology product or system are evaluated and described in accordance with organisational requirements and industry practice.
