2 Definitions
Service requirements are boat usage requirements that include consideration of: the boat’s location when moored which may be an area of particularly high fouling; the boat’s operating speed and frequency of use, for example a high speed ferry service is different to an occasionally used pleasure boat; the vessels frequency of application of antifouling; the frequency of expected hull cleans; the finish required such as smoothness for racing craft.
Job specifications refer to plans and/or written definition of the marine paint coating and finish.
Industry practice refers to typical accepted work practice used in industry.

Please note
Providers must be 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 accredited by NZQA before they can register credits from assessment against unit standards.
Accredited providers and Industry Training Organisations assessing against unit standards must engage with the moderation system that applies to those standards.
Accreditation requirements and an outline of the moderation system that applies to this standard are outlined in the Accreditation and Moderation Action Plan (AMAP). The
AMAP 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.
