Explanatory notes
1
Work site documents include contracts and any documented installation and
operating procedures for the system.
2
Set up the job means prepare to install and integrate heating equipment, distribution
components and insulation.
3
All work site practices must meet recognised codes of practice and documented
safety procedures and safety plans (where these exceed code) for personal and work
site safety, and obligations required under current legislation.
4
Installation programme refers to any documented programme for installing the
system (eg, a construction programme).

There are three types of hot water heating systems, these are low, medium and high
temperature systems. For credit evidence must be gained of an understanding of the
integration of all these systems, but practical assessment is only required in one
system.
7
Assessment of this unit standard will only be completed after commissioning of the
system shows no faults with the integration of equipment and components.
Outcomes and evidence requirements
Outcome 1
Set up the job for a hot water heating system.
Evidence requirements
1.1
System installation drawings are checked against the work site and confirmed
