Unit standard 14996

Issue

The explanatory notes allow for either hand drawn or CAD drawings. If going with CAD, E.R. 1.2 and 1.3 become irrelevant.

Ruling

This ruling allows for E.R.1.2 and 1.3 to be exempted from the assessment if CAD drawing are used.

The following exceptions have been applied to to the assessment of unit 18903 v2 (L3, C4)

Unit standard 18903 v2 (L3,C4)

Issue

Performance criteria 1.2 refers to z-tooth where it should have been z-saw.

Ruling

This ruling replaces the term z-tooth with the term z-saw.

Unit standard 26327 v3 (L3,C7)

Issue

Performance Criteria 2.1 range statement refers to nomenclature.

Ruling

This ruling omits assessment on this item from the range statement.

Whilst the criteria will remain the same in the range statement, learners are not required to include nomenclature in demonstrating their knowledge of ducting and duct fittings. This is because it has been determined that six ducting parameters instead of seven are sufficient for the unit standard.
