Definitions
Marine industry – involved in the design, building and manufacturing of yachts and
boats from small dinghies to ocean-going motor and sail yachts up to an overall
length of 120 metres (400 feet), and marine oriented supporting activities such as the
buying and selling of craft, and maintenance and servicing of these vessels
(excluding power boat servicing).
Recognised standards – regulations that are legally in force or widely recognised.
Due to the rate of change in this area the actual recognised standards have not been
specifically noted.
VOC – volatile organic compound.

This CMR can be accessed at http://www.nzqa.govt.nz/framework/search/index.do.
Please note
Providers must be granted consent to assess against standards (accredited) by NZQA,
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.
Requirements for consent to assess and an outline of the moderation system that applies
to this standard are outlined in the CMR. The CMR 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.
