This unit standard is intended for use in the training and
assessment of electricians beyond trade level who are required
to develop, implement, and review maintenance plans for
electrical engineering systems.
People credited with this unit standard are, for electrical
engineering systems, able to:
–
determine maintenance requirements;
–
develop maintenance plans;
–
implement maintenance plans; and
–
review maintenance plans.

Explanatory notes
1
This unit standard has been developed for learning and assessment on-job.
2
Achievement of this unit standard does not by itself imply that trainees may legally
perform prescribed electrical work in their own right. Until trainees themselves are
registered and licensed under the Electricity Act 1992, they are assisting, and must
work under the supervision of a Supervisor of Electrical Work when carrying out
prescribed electrical work. If the prescribed electrical work in question is carried out
for reward the Supervisor of Electrical Work must hold a valid practising licence.

Definitions
ERP – enterprise resource package.
Industry practice – those practices that competent practitioners within the industry
recognise as current industry best practice.
MMS – maintenance management system.
Planned maintenance – maintenance activities that are formally planned and
scheduled.
Safe and sound practice relating to the installation of electrical equipment is defined
in AS/NZS 3000:2007.

Range
a Demonstration of safe working practices and installation in accordance with safe
and sound practice are essential components of assessment of this unit standard.
b Planned maintenance work may involve all or any of – checking, measuring,
testing, calibrating, cleaning, lubricating, adjusting, repairing, replacing faulty parts,
re-commissioning.
c Unless otherwise stated, all activities and evidence presented for all outcomes and
evidence requirements in this unit standard must be in accordance with industry
practice.
d Evidence of two maintenance plans is required.
Outcomes and evidence requirements
Outcome 1

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 Consent and Moderation Requirements (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.
