The NZQA National Qualifications Services has completed the review of the unit standards
listed above.
Date new versions published
August 2012
Planned review date
December 2014
Summary
In 2008, NZQA began to review unit standards in light of the Alignment of Standards (AoS)
review. The review of unit standards included consultation with tertiary providers and
Industry Training Organisations (ITOs) to assess continued relevance and likely future use
of the standards. Unit standards that duplicated achievement standard outcomes and
those without the likelihood of future tertiary use were recommended for expiry.
Home and Life Sciences - Textile Technology unit standards at Levels 2-4 have significant
usage, including by tertiary providers. It was determined that twenty-one of the unit
standards in this domain were industry specific and therefore outside NZQA’s standard
setting coverage. The remaining seven unit standards were determined to be neither
industry specific nor in alignment with the New Zealand Curriculum and so were
recommended for expiry.
Following a formal request from the Apparel and Textile Industry Training Organisation
(ATITO), it was determined that the twenty industry specific unit standards in domain
Home and Life Sciences – Textile Technology came under ATITO’s industry coverage and
did not duplicate outcomes in draft or registered achievement standards. It was agreed
that standard setting responsibility for the indentified unit standards at Levels 2-4 would be
transferred from NZQA to ATITO. However, in on 4 May 2012 that coverage was
extended to Plastics and Materials Processing Industry Training Organisation Incorporated
(PaMPITO).
Main changes
 Standard setting responsibility for twenty unit standards at Levels 2-4 in domain Home
and Life Sciences – Textile Technology was transferred to PaMPITO. The remaining
unit standards in this domain were designated as expiring.
 The removal of references to the New Zealand Curriculum related documents and
expiring Level 1 standards.
Category D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2013
