This section specifies work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below.

Measuring instructions must include:

job sheets, work plans, specifications, drawings and designs

manufacturing instructions.

Measuring equipment must include:

callipers, vernier callipers, dividers and feeler gauges

ohm meters, volt meters, amp meters, pressure gauges, torsion wrenches.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
