Explanatory notes
1
This unit standard is intended for, but not restricted to, workplace assessment. The
range statements within the unit standard can be applied according to industry
specific equipment, procedures and processes.
2
Safety of personnel and plant must be a priority throughout the assessment. If the
safety requirements are not met the assessment must stop.
3
Performance and work practices in relation to the outcomes and evidence
requirements must comply with all current legislation, especially the Electricity Act
1992, and any regulations and codes of practice recognised under that statute; the
Health and Safety in Employment Act 1992; and the Resource Management Act
1991. Electricity supply industry codes of practice and documented industry
procedures include the current version of the Safety Manual – Electricity Industry
(SM-EI) Wellington: Electricity Engineers’ Association. A full list of current legislation
and industry codes is available from the Electricity Supply Industry Training
Organisation, PO Box 1245, Hamilton 3240.

Please note
Providers must be granted consent to assess against standards (accredited) by NZQA, or
an inter-institutional body with delegated authority for quality assurance, 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.
