DEFEXO001 Work safely with explosive ordnance

Where the register points next

training.gov.au points at nothing after DEFEXO001: it is the current product, and no replacement is listed.

What the register says changed

These are the mapping notes training.gov.au attaches to each supersession, quoted as the register writes them. They are the only public record of what actually changed between two versions.

Is DEFEXO001 on your scope?

This page is the register's record of one product. What it cannot tell you is whether DEFEXO001 sits on your own scope today, or what else on that scope has moved without anyone noticing. Enter your RTO number and we read every product on your live scope against training.gov.au and tell you which ones are superseded and which replacements the register flags not equivalent.

Whether a supersession requires anything of you, and what, sits with you and your regulator. This page maps what the register records; it does not make that judgement. If the difference between an equivalent and a non-equivalent replacement is the question, we wrote it up in equivalent vs not equivalent.
