This unit standard is intended for use in the training and
assessment of electricians beyond trade level who are required
to manage testing and measuring procedures within electrical
engineering contexts.
People credited with this unit standard are able to:
–
plan and communicate electrical testing and measuring
requirements;
–
monitor the implementation of electrical testing and
measuring procedures; and
–
evaluate and report results of electrical testing.

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.

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 Tests and measurements are conducted in accordance with industry practice or
vendor information where available.
c Evidence of three different test and measurement cases is required.
d Testing and measuring activities may be of three individual installations, or may
involve a complex installation involving three related systems.

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.
