Process Engineering Maintenance – NOS Review
Cogent are nearing the completion of the review of the Process Engineering Maintenance (PEM) suite of National Occupational Standards (NOS). This periodic review ensures that the NOS remain ‘fit-for-purpose’ and continue to meet the needs of industry.

It has been found that only minor changes have been necessary to the NOS and that they are still relevant to the industries that use them.
Please click here to view a summary of the changes, which concern the knowledge needed to select and use tools and equipment safely.

The full suite of amended NOS can be found below.
