1. Editorial
Welcome to the last edition of ELECTRON for 2003.
2003 has been a year in which much has been achieved by the
Board and the its partners. Further achievements are included in
this issue of ELECTRON.
Standards New Zealand and Standards Australia have signed a
new agreement, which provides for the continuation of joint
standards for both countries.
The Board has been involved for many years in the
harmonisation of electrical occupational licensing between New
Zealand and Australia and the Board sees the joint standards
system as an important part of the process of training for
electrical workers in both countries.
The Board congratulates both Standards New Zealand and
Standards Australia for an excellent outcome that can only
benefit electrical worker training and licensing.
Agreement has been reached with the Immigration Service on the
requirements for overseas-trained electrical workers wishing to
immigrate to New Zealand and further detail on the subject is in
this issue of ELECTRON.
Agreement has also been reached with the Electricity Supply
Industry Training Organisation, which will mean that people will
be registered by the Board on the basis of holding ESITO issued
Certificates.
I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of the Board
to thank all those people in the industry for the assistance
given to the Board during the year.
I would also like to personally thank all the people for the
support and advice given so willingly to both myself and our
team.
We wish you all a very merry and a safe Christmas and New
Year.
John Sickels
